Last week when my grandson and his friend visited from Wednesday evening until Saturday morning with the expressed purpose of leaf-raking; they filled 31 lawn bags with leaves and mulched that many bags for the garden. In the wake was two broken rakes. I understand how a wooden handle breaks but how do two metal prongs go missing from an all-metal rake?
Other revealing statistics from the two 16-year old lads' visit are as listed: Food and liquid consumption...two extra large pizza, two gallons milk, 11/2 loaves of bread, one box Fruit Loops, one box Cheerios, 21/2 gallons of orange juice, one gallon of tea, 13 sodas, 1/2 box crackers, eight large chili-pasta servings, 7 hot dogs, 4 hamburgers, 1/2 gallon ice cream, one apple pie, one cherry pie, two large bags-potato chips, undisclosed amount of cheese, 2lbs hamburger patties and 17 pancakes and a three roll sleeve of toilet tissue, which makes sense.
I overheard the following contemporary teen language-expressions: "I'm good." (37 X),
"For Sure!" (21 X), "What S'up?" (19 X), "When we gunna eat?" (15 X), "Hey Bro." (13 X).
My Toy Poodle, Yodie, although happy to see the boys each morning, appeared more neurotic each night.
