Except then when you are in the grocery store 2 months later you look it up in the Soap Opera Digest when you are waiting in line and you are just as confused as you were the first time...so I am thinking if you found them again, they'd just be moved on to completely different people by now.

Awkward sounds about right for 13, then there's "like" . . "I'm like this and he's like that, and it's like, like, like" I specifically asked EVERYTIME I heard my son and friends slip in to that "Is is LIKE something or IS it something?" He had friends that could barely string a sentence together in front of me after knowing I'd do it. They learned fast.<br /><br />Yeah, basically, awesome, groovy (oops, that's MY era).

I teach high school in a pretty 'rough' area, and today some kids (three boys and a girl) were using some strange phone application to ask questions like "How many condoms do you use a day?" "Would you have sex with the person to your right or left?" "Do you like being spanked?" "Trade t-shirts with the person across from you."<br /><br />REALLY? REALLY?
