While growing up, there were some lines that, as kids, we were not allowed to cross. If a child dared to put even a fraction of their pinky beyond that "demilitarised zone" that separated adults from kids, the offender would pay with hell for their misdemeanour.
But this generation has blurred these lines. They will tell their parents some things which were previously deemed as blasphemous, and shoot questions that would have made my mama to spit deep Dholuo proverbs.
