Teenagers

Every once in a while we meet someone here who knows English a little beyond, “Hello” Today someone stopped Doug and asked him where he was walking to. “Hong Kong” Doug answered. “Are you sure?” the man queried.
Later today a group of kids pulled up alongside Doug on a motor scooter. The driver was a teenaged boy and 2 teenaged girls sat behind him. The boy said, “Hello, what is your name?” Doug answered, ” My name is Doug”. The boy parroted back in a mocking and goofy voice, ” HELLO, MY NAME IS DOUG!”. The girl sitting directly behind him gave him a smack while the girl at the rear of the scooter giggled as they sped off. If you are an adult and teenagers think you’re cool, you are really something special. The rest of us….well, we just get put in our place.
