True. I remember reading a story years ago about a father who came upon his
six-year-old daughter and two playmates dressed in bright Halloween costumes
and lots of junk jewelry. He asked what they were doing, and his darling
little girl replied that they were "hookers." After recovering from his
faint, he realized that the girls didn't know what "hookers" DID exactly
(when he gave a careful, age-appropriate explanation, he got a response of
"ew, gross!"). What they had seen on TV or wherever were girls who got to
wear pretty, spangly Barbie clothes and stay out with their friends as late
as they wanted.
