Here's a lovely comment on teenagers today...

Yesterday the phone on my desk rang. Here is the conversation that followed:

"Higgs? It's Jake."

"Jake? Shouldn't you be in class? Where are you?"

"I'm in Problem Stats."

"You're calling me from Problem Stats? Where is Murphy?"

"On the other side of the room. He doesn't know I'm calling."

"Jake? What do you want?"

"Will you get me out of gym next hour so I can work on my newspaper page?"

"Let me get this straight--you're calling me from class, to see if you can skip another class?"

"Yup, pretty much!"

"Ok, I'm hanging up now. I'm not getting you out of gym."

"Ok, thanks anyway, Higgs."

Wow is all I could say...
