Rick’s Rants and Raves

Tonight was Girl Scouts night at my house. The usual 12-14 year-old-characters descended upon our family room for a couple of hours and worked on the strategy for a fund raising project. I’ve known several of these young women since they were in kindergarten. I was joking around with one of them a bit as I was passing near by, and for some reason, I can’t recall why (its that age thing) I said to her “LOL! OMG!” She looked at me with a smirk and said “Do you even know what that means?” I replied “I knew what LOL meant before you were born!”

HA!

Ha.

Hrm. Crap, am I really that old? What shocks me isn’t that I’ve been familiar with “LOL” since circa 1996. What shocks me is that I’m so old that I’ve just used the before-you-were-born retort.

“Take that you whipper snapper! And git off my lawn with yer loud music!”
