the only really really wild art form I "did" back in the day is I went to the public library and got out "Brave New World" like when I was in 7th grade....I felt very guilty about it and hid the book under my pillow so my mother wouldn't see it....

Honestly, my father was furious that we went to see "Gone with the Wind when we were 13 or 14 yrs old....that's the kind of family I came from...

My parents did not allow us to see Gone with the Wind either. First of all, there was that expletive at the end, and than, of course, Scarlet O'Hara was no lady.

I also used to read forbidden books under the covers at night with a flashlight. One was Love without Fear. What a shocker!

Now! Just yesterday, my grandson, age 11, was explaining to me the a transformer video he was about to show me on youtube would have a few bad words in it but that I'm just going to have to get used to that sort of thing in today's world etc. etc. etc. I can't even imagine how my father would react to such a thing.
