The first and foremost duty of teenagers is to drive their parents crazy.
For my grandparents it was Swing Music and flappers.
My parents, although busy with World War 2 still made time for Big Band Music and Zoot Suits.
My generation – Rock and Roll, long hair, and wasn’t there some weird cigarette or something? Ummm, I like forget, man.
Where was I? Oh yeah.
While today’s music does make me twitch, for the most part, youth today is into passivity.
“Where are you?”
“In my room.”
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing!” and it’s the absolute truth!
Video games. Ubiquitous tablets. Smart phones. I’ve had an entire conversation with my daughter, in which her participation was limited to, “Are you talking to me?” and she doesn’t even know who Robert De Niro is!
As near as I can tell, teenagers don’t date – they text; if your thumbs get permanently attached to the phone, it means you’re going steady or something. I guess I should be grateful since this should lower the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.
I guess we can safely say that today’s teenagers are on track. Why don’t I fell like celebrating?
