My friend Beth invited me to this place called Yogo's and it was the most fantastical frozen yogurt shop I had ever visited. They had eight different base yogurts and combinations of those yogurts as well. There were at least a dozen different toppings, four kinds of sauces (I chose chocolate sauce), and extra fruit toppings, too. I want to take my other friends here too! Beth originally invited me because her school had this organization where a part of the proceeds from the frozen yogurt would go towards buying Christmas gifts for local children. How can you not support that?
Also, Beth is very intelligent. I was shown how intelligent as we sat and discussed everything from housing architecture to science, the universe, Stephen Hawking to art and colors. Among many others. I took her with me as I did grocery shopping and she commented on the appalling inadequacies of America's education system. "Kids these days don't know how to imagine!" she said.
It's funny how we're both young and would still be called "kids" in many respects, but we already quote expressions such as "kids these days." I suppose that we are older than what most consider "kids" but I still see myself as a kid sometimes so it's new to think of the younger generation as separate from mine. I suppose she's right however. People just five years younger than me are doing things that I didn't dream of until I was well-past their age.
Funny how things change as you age.
To be fair, I think even when we were actually 'kids,' kids our age were doing things we wouldn't have even dreamed of doing. We just grew up in really conservative families.
