Teenaged Opinions

Recently, Molly (age 14) told me that one of her friends thinks Johnny Depp is hot.

"Eww," she told me, "How could she like him? He's old!"

I told her Patrick Dempsey (who is from Maine, I might add, and who is equally as hot as Johnny Depp - not that *I* would care) is about the same age as Johnny Depp.

"Eww. He's an old man, too," was her response.

So I said, "Well, just because a guy is as old as your dad, doesn't mean he's not hot."

She looked at me, blankly. So I drove in for the kill.

"Your dad's hotter than both those guys," I told her.

Her response?

"Double Eww."

Ah, the vocabulary of a teenager.
