Teenagers Are Weird
As fun as it is to be around arguing teenage girls, I have to remember that it is not only teenage girls who can make comments that can be considered weird, unusual or plainly amusing. While the great part of talking to people is that silly yet memorable comments can be said… Yet hearing a teenaged boy state having no friends is great due to having to buy no presents is one of the more amusing comments I have heard this year.
As fun as it is to also hear teenaged girls talk publicly and loudly about how they “cannot live” without mobile phones, hearing something memorable from a teenaged boy is a little different considering how rare it is. Only if I heard more amusing words from teenaged boys…
