A little boy, couldn't have been more than 8, was twerking in the grocery store today.
I'm not judging the kid or the parents, because: popular culture.
Just me becoming one of those old "the world is going to hell in a handbasket!" types.
Don't get me wrong, I've done my share of shimmying and such in nightclubs in my salad days.
But this kid was in his single digit years and had moves like Miley.
Yeah, I'm just old, I guess.
We really need a smiley with a beard waving a cane!

(33,512 posts)5. Well, look at this way. As old farts go, you're a youngster.
Some of us old farts have been old farting way longer. For us, it's no discovery; it's just a way of life.
And I don't need some goddamned smiley. I don't do smiley. I'm an old fart.
