Working with high schoolers never ceases to amaze me! Here are some tidbits of info I gleamed during the last couple of days:

~If you have just recently gotten a new hairstyle and wear a sexy outfit to ask a guy to prom...he will say yes.
~ It is apparently now acceptable to spend the weekend at your boyfriend's house.
~ It is not necessary to wear closed toed shoes, long pants, or a jacket when it is 45 degrees, wind blowing, and raining.
~ If your mom and dad (who are divorced) get into a fight over the phone, it is to be expected that your mom will take it out on you...most likely by hitting you. (This one broke me heart!!! b/c the first time I met this girl she had a black eye which I assumed was from basketball, but now I don't know for sure.)
~ The new "it" thing to call a significant other is "babes" and not babe like it was back in my day.
~ Kids who have left the crappy little town I work in, desire to come back b/c they miss it. (This too makes me sad b/c this town is seriously a hole in the wall, backwards town that has nothing to offer these kids. I want to take them all away and make them believe that they deserve better!)
~ Number 18 from a certain school does indeed look amazing in those baseball pants!

So there you have it...some new knowledge to gain from high school kids...not all fun, but all very real to them.

And speaking of high school kids, it's amazing to think that 8 years ago today, Brian and I were just some dumb high school kids that decided to start dating and go to prom together. So I guess there is still hope for those dumb high school kids to grow up and become productive, loving adults.
