Were we that stupid as teenagers?

And then some, most likely. It is hormones, and lack of experience that makes it that way.

I guess you're right. But, sometimes I think the internet gives them even more of a chance to be stupid.

I would normally say that we were probably worse but I'm not so sure anymore.

Maybe we did do some stupid things when we were kids, but I think today's kids do it more because they think they can get famous from it.

Yeah, that's the thing I don't get. I never really wanted people to find out the stupid things I did. It never crossed my mind to videotape it and put it out there or something like that.

Same here. I would have been scared of the cops showing up. ( He laughs. ) Listen to us, sounding like two old people, shaking our canes at the youth of today.

Are you kidding? I was terrified of my sister and her husband. [She smiles back and chuckles] At least we have gotten to pulling out the shot guns and yelling at them to get off our lawn, right?

( When she makes her comment agout shotguns and yelling at kids getting off their lawn, he sheepishly laughs. ) Well, um... I did tell one of Jeremy's friends to get off the lawn with his moped. Does that make me old?

Were you shaking your fist while yelling at them?

No. I gave him my 'I'm so disappointed in you' teacher look, though.

Ouch. [Shakes her head, amused] I'm sure he will never be the same again.

( He laughs and glances over at her. ) Now you're starting to sound like Damon.

Oh god. [She makes a face though she's only kidding. Kind of.] Now you're being a mean old man.

( He looks at her, trying his best to keep a straight face. ) See? You do think I'm an old man!

[She smirks, knowing full well what he's doing] Well I do now!

Are you going to dump me now because I'm too old to keep up with a youngin' like you?

I don't think so. You're kind of cute even for an old man.

How do you feel about younger women?

Well, thanks.

And, I happen to adore younger women, especially this beautiful red-head I know.

While I don't know to what specifically you are referring, from my recent experiences with teenagers, I want say no.

But I'm afraid I can't.

Maybe you were.

Maybe they just seem more stupid because they do said stupid things and post the video online for the whole world to see.

Are you calling me stupid, Damon?

The constant need to document and share every minute thing in their lives is undoubtedly going to lead to a slew of regret in their future.

Thank God they didn't have Facebook when we were in high school.

No, I'm just saying I wasn't. You're the one who asked the question.

Well, yeah. With porn now freely available, and then all that Jackass bullshit, and kids raping other kids and posting shit about it on Facebook like it is nothing? I would totally agree. If I ever saw my son doing any of those things, or displaying half the idiocy that they do? He will wish I was not his mother, or he was never born.
