I work as a cashier at my local WallyWorld. In my line yesterday was a family with a teenage daughter, and she was buying three CDs, two of which were of today's forgettable music, and the other being The Beatles' Hard Days Night. I was very surprised to see this, so I asked her Mom what that was about. She told me her daughter loved The Beatles, and she was learning to play guitar. Very heartwarming indeed! I told her daughter that as a teenager I learned to play guitar to Beatles music, and that she should do the same, being fun and simple to play and learn to.
I guess not all kids today are bad. Some actually have their heads screwed on straight!

Now, point to one.

Id like to think of teenagers as dogs, some of us growl and bite when you get close. But others are regular well behaved creatures. |

Oh, I'm subbing for this class, or I wouldn't be able to do this...
zero
I'll ask who's most popular....
Drake.
I don't even know who Drake is.
I bet they wonder what's up with adults these days.

-Mike | I take it one case at a time. It's never OK to sit on the hood of a car, no matter who you are, unless it's your own car. I imagine you'd feel the same way I do. Right?

As work appropriate as you'd expect an early 90's Ice Cube song about venereal disease to be. |
