Dear Captain,

Is Kaili naughty? I think nowadays kids are a world of difference comparing to kids at my era. They are more creative, active, smart and like to take chance and show themselves.

They have known more than I do at a young age. They have less homework but more eletronic products to play. I remember at my time, I had to ask my parents' permission before I played my computer. Now they even play their Ipad or smartphone in class. As a result, they start to wear glasses at a younger age.

Jingjing complained to me the first year when she went to kindergarten. She had a quarrel with her deskmate so that they didn't talk to each other. Later her deskmate sent her a message through cellphone to ask her forgiveness. She was moved and then sent back a message to her desk mate. She was typing the message when her deskmate put her hand up and told the teacher Jingjing was playing cellphone at class. After school, her teacher had a talk with her about this thing. Jingjing complained to me she didn't expect her deskmate was so tricky.

My younger cousin who is 17, 6 years younger than me, finds her third boyfriend. Each time when my mom advises me to go out and attend more parties, she will stand on my mom's side and laugh at me too old for a first love. I regard her as a kid! How dare she says like that!

Am I out of date? I think I just enjoy staying in my shell...
