You & I both!!! I may feel "like" it -- to slap someone (not necessarily just teens) for over-using that word, but then I realize I could be charged with assault & battery/child abuse.
"Well your honor, I was attempting to have an intelligent conversation with my 13-year-old son you see, and he kept saying the word "like" every five to ten seconds or so. It was really beginning to grate on my nerves, and sent me into a flashback to the days of record players ... your favorite 45 is spinning on the platter, but the arm & the needle stick to one groove producing the same sound over & over & over again, until you bop the phono-player with your hand on the side to unstick the music. That's exactly what I did to my son's head --I was unsticking the record player! That's the whole truth & nothing but the truth, so help me God."
Case dismissed!
Hopefully they'll grow out of it ... I have two more yet to go through that "stage of life" (11 & 7) ... or if they don't ever grow out of it, they at least change over to a different word to use for awhile.
Thanks! I must be Perry Mason!!! And thanks for the BA & 10 pts too!
Happy V-day to you & yours! (The force is strong in this one!) Report It
