Well, that just proved your-my-our point!!! Genghis was an altogether grouchy and irritable sort. Had he molested one or two of those trusting maidens, the course of history would have been less bloody. I think you may be onto something here.
On the way to McD's, Ammo informed me that they had spent their geography class discussing the Starr Report. Everyone in the class gave his or her opinions in turn.
Horrified, I said, "You didn't repeat anything I said, did you?" because sometimes the image fractures a little here.
He said, "No, I know better than that."
He told them that he thought probably what the teacher was hearing was a reflection of what the parents were saying in the home because kids don't know that much really, and two, if the people elected Clinton and didn't care about that stuff, they ought to just leave it alone.
"Oh-well, what do you think of him?"
Shrug. "Not much."
I said, "What kind of example do you think he's setting for kids?"
He said, "Well, terrible, if they know about it. Do you like this song?" The radio goes up.
I shout, "How can you not know? You're talking about it in class?"
He said, "You said kids. I thought you meant little kids."
Oh.
Well, then-"What does your age think about it?"
"We all want to be president." (Hahahahahahah) "Get me a Super Size meal, ok?"
"Hahahaha. Really. WHat do they say seriously?"
"Mom, fifteen-year-olds don't have serious lives. Can I have two quarter pounders?"
I just want you all to know what talking to a teen is like. |
