Some people I know from doing civic shows are quite a bit younger than me, so I always try to watch what I say and do around them. But I often underestimate just how much kids know at a younger age these days ("these days?!" Who am I, my grandmother?). So one day when one of these younger folks asked me if I had any booty calls, I was a little shocked.
But one of the other younger ones was sitting there as well and said, "What's a booty call?"
Considering someone her age had brought it up, I was half-ready to leave it to her peer to explain that one. But we all remember how that went in junior high and how "well-informed" we all were after going to our friends for enlightenment on more mature subjects...so I did my best.
Me: Well...it's like when you're just hanging around by yourself and you're lonely or bored, so you call up someone you know to get...some...
Kid: Coffee?
Me: Yes! Coffee. So you call this person up and say, "Hey, you wanna have some coffee together?" But it's not someone you'd have...coffee...with on a regular basis, like all the time.
Kid: Ohhh ok, I think I get it.
I think this kid was old enough to know what I meant by coffee, but now I'm just worried that a few years down the road when she's at college, she's going to think everyone in her dorm is addicted to coffee because they're going on booty calls. But let's face it, no one really calls it a "booty call" anymore anyway, do they?
I think I'm safe.

OK, also, I just wanna say that I caught up on Lincee's Bachelor blog (link to the right) and the Madrosed recap on YouTube, and I feel like people are missing something here:
Kirsten Storms was referred to in all these Bachelor recaps as some "random girl" from General Hospital. Does NO ONE remember who she is?! Am I the only person who was watching the Disney Channel in the early 2000s?!!
It's Zenon, you guys!!! Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century! Am I the only person who cried out, "It's Zenon!" while watching the Bachelor this week?!!
OK, sorry, just had to get that out there. And yeah, I watched the Disney Channel in high school. I'd still be watching it now, if I had cable in my apartment. Deal with it.
OK, time for a nap because it's gonna be another fun and exciting day at the station! Yaaaaaay snow! (I really do like the snow; not being sarcastic.)
Until later!

Who in the name of tuna casserole asked you about booty calls??
Ha! I love it! Too funny.
1) the whole booty call thing cracked me up!
2) ZENON was my HERO!! My bff in middle school and I watched it every single time it was on TV! And we taped it so we could watch it other times too. We always said, "Zedis supedis" {I have absolutely no idea how that is spelled.} And added "Major" to the end of every sentence. It was my absolute fav. And then a few people told me I looked like Kirsten Storms and I was in heaven.
Oh my goodness! How did I not recognize Zenon?! I usually recognize everyone, and she looks exactly the same!! Good one.
