Really?

A very recent discussion. I couldn't wait to get off the phone, just to blog this:

Me: How was the city?

DD: It was great. Saw the tree and everything.

Me: Sounds like fun. We did the Christmas thing a few weeks ago. Did you see the Rockettes?

DD: No.

Me: Did you go ice skating?

DD: No.

Me: Did you see the ice sculptures by the Plaza hotel?

DD: No.

Me: Okay... well, did you have any chestnuts? I love them, but they're a rip off. The vendor guy with the cart charged a $1 each. Can you believe that shiz?

DD: I don't even know what that is.

Me: You've never heard of a chestnut?

DD: Nooo.

Me: There's a Christmas song about them.

DD: ... (dead air) ...

Me (in song): Chestnuts roasting on an open fire... Jack Frost nipping at your nose.

DD: Oh. Um...

Me: Sigh. So how was shopping?

DD: It was ammmaaaazzzzing! I bought blah, blah, blah...

What is happening to the world we live in?! How is that most people under 30 live in a fuckin' vacuum? Riding boots, faux fur, chunky scarves, leaving it in 2012, the mayans are predicting the end of the world, someone tried to shoot Justin Bieber, those guns that killed those kids hold like 400 bullets or something like that... it's ridiculous... Obama should ban guns, the list goes on.

This might be the original version... or not. By the way if you pause
at the beginning, you'll notice the song name is wrong. Exhale
