I teach college freshmen, and I'm continually amazed at what they come up with. The following is an actual conversation that took place before class one day last fall:
Girl #1: I'd like to go to a Motley Crue concert. (This was really funny because she's such a sweet looking young little 18-year-old. I couldn't imagine her listening to '80's metal bands.)
Girl #2: Who's Motley Crue?
(At this point, my jaw dropped to the floor in amazement.)
Girl #1: They're a classic rock band. My dad listens to them.
Later in the semester, Girl #1 said that her mother was 36 years old. I was 37 at the time. It was a sad day when I realized that the people I went to high school with could have children in college. And that the music we listened to is considered "classic rock."
