Growing up a little too fast

I made a startling discovery a few weeks ago. Apparently, my stepson, age 11, has been using my desktop computer to look at online porn. I don't know why this came as a surprise to me. I guess it didn't. I suppose if I'm really honest, I would say that I've been waiting on it to happen. I just didn't think it would happen quite so soon.

I can't blame him for being curious. Truth is, I saw my first Playboy when I was his age. I know his hormones are kicking him in the ass. I know he wants to look, but what's next? I suppose in a couple of years we'll be meeting his girlfriends. Then, in a few years, he'll be coming to us and telling us he wants to get married. This is an age-old lament, but where has the time gone? Every time something like this happens, it is a stark reminder that time is passing and he's growing up. I'm not sure I'm ready for that. I wish I could keep him young and innocent, like he was when I first met him. I know I can't, but wouldn't it be nice if we could?
