Well into their "middle ages" my parents are having more and more trouble discerning what is appropriate for young people of certain ages. Yesterday, my Father tried to tell a 15-year-old that all the cool kids wear extra-large t-shirts. And today, Mother wanted to show a film about survivors of civil war atrocities to the church youth group...
(Discussing the movie War Dance, about young Ugandan refugees who have endured horrific conflicts and compete in a national dance competition)
Mother: Do you think this is a movie the youth group could watch?
Moi: Absolutely not. A lot of them are too young.
Mother: What about Ginger's children?
(The 12-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl?)
Moi: They would be too young, yes.
