The Jigga Man Jay-Z once said, ~If you feelin' like a pimp, go and brush yor shoulders off. Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off...don't forget that boy told you. Get, that, dirt off your shoulder.~ Let me ask you this question, do you consider yourself a pimp when it comes to the male and/or female persuasion? When I use the term pimp, I mean do you get a certain amount of attention to the point where you have to beat guys/girls of with a stick? Who wouldn't want attention from the opposite sex, which can boost a person's ego unless the attention one receives makes you uncomfortable. In any case, the question can be asked, were you a pimp growing up back in the day and did you or did you not know it?
As a little kid, the thought of girls or boys liking you would cause widespread panic. In one's own adolescent mind, girl or boys had a contagious disease that would spread like wildfire and that disease was known as cooties. In a sense, you didn't have to go the doctor to have it treated because quite frankly all you had to do was walk or run up to another child and just touch him or her and they had it. However, the only guy or girl that you liked was mom and dad, who would take away those cooties in an instant. For the most part, it was a harmless game that we all played and is still being played as a kid, which goes to show that some things never really change.
If you think about it, you may or may have not realized that you had the Austin Powers mojo going and in some aspect you were considered a P.I.T, which is a pimp in training. Its really unclear, who tends to get the most attention when you're considered a cute kid, boys or girls. One can or could debate that particular topic but will probably turn into a stalemate. Essentially, its that pimp status that can be seen early on by grown ups who just thinks it cute unless you're a father who is getting an early glimpse at what he is in for with his daugher as boys are starting to notice her. But the question can be asked, does it wear off or does it stay with as one grows older?
Working in the asylum over the years, kids tend to proclaim themselves pimps, particularly the boys. Its a funny situation indeed when they try to mack on one particular female counselor who has all of them struck with puppy love. To her its flattering as she just laughs it off, but in a kind let you down easy way so not to hurt their feelings. When it comes to the girls, on the other hand, I treat them as if ther were my daughters even though I don't have any kids of my own. Just last week, one of my 6 & 7years girls told me that 4 boys were interested in her and a part of me went into protective second dad mode. In a sense, I can't keep them from growing up, but I sure as can help put the fear of God into any guy that goes near them.
Suffering from a bit of insomnia, I was looking through some old photo albums late last night and I found something out that I never really knew. What I found out was that I was a pimp and there were six pictures in which I was either holding hands with or standing next to a little girl. There was only one picture that I actually knew the name of the girl, which oddly enough I keep in touch with every now and then. Now that I'm older, wiser, and hopefully cuter, the mojo that I had back then is kind of on the fritz but hopefully I can kick back in high gear, so to speak. Check out those six pictures and please don't laugh at the clothes that I'm wearing. In the end, I was pimpin" back in the day and you know what they say, pimpin' ain't easy.
*Unfortunately, I am not able to post those 6 pics, but trust me on this I was considered a mini pimp back in the day.*
