While I was standing in line to get an ice cream tonight, there was a young man, about thirteen, in front of me wearing shorts and a t-shirt shivering as he waited to order his ice cream, and I thought, "What an idiot--kids are so f-ing stupid. Why would anyone that cold wait in line to make themselves even colder?" but then I wondered how many times I had stood drunk in line at a bar to get another beer, and it all made perfect sense...he must have been drunk.
Or he was just 13. As a daughter of a 15 year old, I am often reminded of the FALSE sense of invincibility that is prevelant at that age.
