the kids are alright
At lunch today I went to Blimpies by myself (as is quite common with me on my lunch hour) and the first thing I noticed was a group of 10-12 high school seniors sitting together eating.Oh great! I thought to myself.
The thought of having to sit next to this group was something I wasn't looking forward to. As I got my meal and sat down at the far end of the area I looked around and noticed everyone else eating had this unpleasant feeling amongst themselves having to sit around these kids.
I started to feel old. Didn't we all try to convince ourselves when we were younger that we were more open minded than our generation before us and wouldn't look down on anyone before getting to know them? And here I was doing the very same thing like a hypocrite.
In actuality, other than being a little loud, they were just fine. They even rearranged the tables they pushed together after they were finished and left without leaving a mess.
I know next time I'll give the youth a little more credit.
