Mahalo Chicos,

We live right around the corner from a junior high school and every time Midori and I would go for walks there’d be a crowd of teens smoking gawd knows what and drinking a liter of beer. Mind you, this is around 7:30 in the morning on a weekday none the less.

Now some might think its the area that we live, but I must say we live in one of two zones in Uruguay that is considered to be expensive and affluent.

The school mentioned is a private school not a public school -though I have nothing against public schools.

I suppose the point I am trying to make is drinking and smoking is not enforced so heavily as a law here -at least none that I am aware of-. Kids even younger smoke, I’ve seen it. I’ve even seen women with child smoking so freely.

Now I have to admit I did smoke for a bit and stopped, if there were circles of people that smoked around me, than its a circle of people I don’t care to hang out with. And that is that.

These girls, while wearing their pleaded skirts and large sweaters look so innocent, yet when they pull the cigarette in their mouth they seemed so seasoned its really scary.

Midori is Uruguayan by birth and she seems to take a liking to smoking as well. I caught her red handed and she had the slightly sleepy gaze about her which alerts me we may have a problem.

Now I have to be super strict and make sure she does not get any ideas while I or my other half is not with her.

The parents should take better control of their kids not the other way around.

If I make other people angry about what I said, than stop reading my website. And kiss my Pacific Island tush!

Ciao,

Odeliza Jacoba
