The kids have an odd obsession.

The children are obsessed with teenagers. I don’t get it. They talk about teenagers in language and in tones normally reserved for celebrities of some sort. We’ll be driving along and — its like we’re on a safari — one of them will spot a teenager and squeal in delight while pointing it out to the other. They will then describe the teenager in minute detail including whatever activity they may be engaged in.

I took them on a bus ride with me the other day and it was really embarrassing as they counted down the MANY teenagers on the bus. They were enthralled (and LOUD!).

To counter Daniel and I have started pointing out senior citizens. We’re not feeling the rush though.

I think my kids need some sort of therapy.

But when you point out the senior citizens do you also loudly exclaim over all their amazing and cool attributes? I bet the kids will really be impressed by tennis balls on the feet of walkers and orthopedic shoes!
