DAVID AND ANDY.

          All of a sudden I found myself thinking sociologically when I was babysitting. I was babysitting two little boys ( David and Andy). They were really bored and wanted to go play outside;since the weather had been so nice we went out. The boys were both seven, they were twins, and I thought they were a little mature. I was very wrong when we were outside the boys thought it was funny to take their PANTSSSSS OFFFF! They started running around the front yard like crazy.They were really fast and it took me a while to catch both of them. They thought it was okay to take their pants off in public. When we went inside the house they started getting brattier. Andy began  blowing up  water balloons and throwing  them to the neighbor's dog. Shortly after, David joined him I did my best to stop them.... but little kids are hard to handle. Eventually, I was able to calm the boys down by making them some Hamburger Helper cheeseburgers. The twins were really hard to handle this week. 
       This week deviant behavior has been the key discussion topic.The twins were deviant from my point of view by taking their pants off,and throwing water balloons to the neighbor's dog. Deviance is in the eye of the beholder, so with that said the twins didn't think they were doing anything bad. When the boys took their pants off it made me think of the Amish rumspringa. This was because just like little kids get away with being pantless,the Amish teens get away with their deviant acts ex: underage drinking.The fact that the boys took their clothes off for fun made me think of the way they had been socialized by their parents. Babysitting the boys made me think of the functionalism theory, simply because it's older teens job to babysit younger children; it's our "function". The Feminist theory came to mind as well: Women are expected to wear more clothing than men. David and Andy are both young and their clothes being off didn't cause chaos, although it was a little too much( or should I say to little LOL). If little girls were to be pantless I think the response would be the same ; however when boys and girls grow older this changes. 
Boys can wear less clothing than girls, by this I mean that women are expected to wear more covering clothing. If women wear more reveling clothes they often get insulted or unwanted "compliments" unlike men that can wear whatever.


TO FINSIH WITH: David and Andy were good the rest of the day and remained with their clothes on ! (:
