There were always things my parents would try to steer me clear from knowing. I'd always cover my eyes on bad scenes of television shows/ movies, I was told repeatedly not to repeat the language adults spoke around me such as cuss words.
Even though I was never told why I never asked why. I knew why and I was afraid what they would think of me if they knew how far my knowledge extended with things like this. Would they think I was too immature to know why I had to cover my eyes? Either way, I didn't question it.
