Tonight, as we're walking through beautiful downtown St. Charles (MO) and meeting Christmas characters, Laura introduces a term that I'm certain has been around for awhile but I've managed to miss it 'til now. It's the word used to describe today's young'uns:
"Screenagers."
The term, as she explained, refers to the fact that while watching TV, a screenager will also be on his/her laptop and have their cell phone close by. Screens galore.
And as she's telling me this, and we're watching our steps as we walk on the cobblestone sidewalks, I think to myself: Holy Christ -- I'm 43 years old, and she's describing me.
