You might think I’m hating….but if your toddler can do the stanky leg but cannot say his/her’s ABC’s or at least count to ten, as a parent, you are doing something a** backwards. Before you tell me I’m a hater or a snob let me explain. I am well aware that yes, learning the latest dances to the newest rap song is fun and it is especially cute to see toddlers and young children do them. However, if you flip the switch and ask that same 3 or 4 year old what his or hers moma’s name is and they look at you with a blank stare then something is missing. Somebody is not connecting the dots here. By somebody I mean the moms and dads. Or better yet, ask that same child to write his/her own name or point out the primary colors. I wonder would they complete that feat with the same vigor as they do dancing the stank leg? The answer would be no for a lot of kids.

Things should be placed in priority. What that means is that the child’s basic knowledge should come first before him learning the newest dance crave. If you are going to teach him the newest dance craves then do so but only after he knows his/her own name. It is a damn shame when a kid can do the stanky leg but when is lost in the store cannot even tell the security his/her mom’s name. Or even worse, knows all the words to Soljah Boys newest song but cannot tell you when they have to use the bathroom so he/she is still in pampers. I am lost. Am I just old fashioned or is this logic ass backwards to you as well? Before I am called numerous names like prudish, stuck up, old fashioned, I am going to stop here. Even though, deep down, you know that I am right….
