(From a very early age I have watched films that were...ah...not meant to be watched by someone as young as I was then...  ) Stephen King was probably the first 'adult' author that I read and I loved his work immediately and have done ever since! |
Yeah, my parents were letting me read SK in the fourth and fifth grade. I look back now, especially considering I have children and think, "What the #$*&?"
They were also very easy going on my film experiences as well. In preschool I used to imitate the Predator from the movie of the same name taking off his mask, with complete sound effects for the hissing streams of air.
Childhood is funny when you look back on it. There are a lot of "They let me do that? Then? At that age?"
Don't take this to mean I had a bad or neglected childhood. But they let me make a lot of my own decisions.
Edit: But funny enough, they were EXTREMELY strict on music. Anything with the Parental Advisory: Explicit Language was banned outright. But it was OK for Detta to scream insanely racist things to Roland and Eddie on the beach with the Lobstrocities.
