This is just a random thought that crossed my mind the other day while I was watching a 1998 episode of sister sister.
You know how when you were younger you laughed at jokes you heard on television or saw in movies? Or how you sang songs that were popular? The jokes were funny to you and the songs were good to you but for a completely different reason then they were intended to be…or maybe not…maybe the puns were intended my the artist behind the work! However the question that arose in my mind or the swarm of questions all relate to this one thing…
What occurs that turns that light switch on? At what point do we begin to laugh at the not so innocence behind it or sing the song because we really appreciate the message that is implied in the song?
