We had it made once upon a time...

After a doing a boatload of research on the psychology and cognitive development for 10-12 year old children, I realized that was the time to capitalize and max out all currently acquired skill sets.

Why? What else is there to worry about?
NEXT TO NOTHING...that is...until puberty pounces and makes things uncomfortable.

Apparently, what will eventually be the sex drive is being channeled to being intellectually and socially adept.

It's like, "Sweet, 25 more times tables until I level up in math...And girls have cooties. EWWW!"

Preadolescence was fun.

Innocence came by the ton.

Then puberty hits, along came the zits

The awkwardness still isn't done!
