After 17 years they suddenly become a huge nuisance. Experts tell us that they're special and we should be nice to them, although they serve no useful purpose. They're noisy as hell, individually screeching until collectively they become an unintelligable droning. The only thing on their mind is sex, after which they disappear again until the next generation comes along.
To sum up, they're teenagers.

Posted by: Mookie at May 19, 2004 08:31 PMYup, yer right about that "teenager" thing. I just came here from reading yr kid's blog. The last 4 or 5 posts there confirm your statement.
Oh, Mookie, if you're reading this, when I was your age, would have loved to meet you, but having more than 1/2 century on the planet, I, too, think you're one of those weird teens who need controlling. Please don't hurt me.
Besides, I betcha you're one of those cute girls who didn't give guys like me the time of day. Pffthffg!
