kids today...

While walking to the subway the other day, I passed a couple of middle school kids holding hands. Very cute.

And then, another middle school-aged kid came up to them, pointing and yelling. You know how their hormones are raging, so they can't handle romance with other kids, and have to make a scene whenever they see it? That's what happened.

Except the kid said, "OMG!"

Yes, he actually said OMG. He then followed it up with the traditional, "Oh my God!" but the fact that he actually spoke in text-speak was alarming. Are we really that lazy of a society?

I must be getting old.

or something along those lines. which is sad. but for some reason that commercial makes me and a coworker laugh, so we recite it as often as possible.

again.

HUGE. LOSER!!!!
