Innocence Lost Early

One small girl brought out this question into my mind and why? Because she asked me a question and I was there questioning myself. Confused??? Let me explain. I was waiting for a friend of mine the other day and my niece came and asked a simple question. Is it a boyfriend or a girlfriend you are waiting for? Now how was I supposed to answer such a question. Whats the perception of a girlfriend in her mind.? People have already polluted the meaning of a girlfriend. So when I heard this word from a girl who is in her very young age it confused me. The intenetions were not clear.
Now the actual question. Is her innocence lost? Or Is it that I cannot think in a manner of those innocent minds? Difficult one I must say. I have seen kids today use all sorts of language and present a behaviour which is considered BAD even for grown ups. I really feel that the minds of the small kids are getting polluted much faster today. Love's Labour Lost should I say. A small kid's mind is molten iron. You can always bend it the way you like. So Please be careful while handling questions like this from kids. The answers you would be giving them would mould their thinking.
