The Lost Boy.

Ie Ling and I went to the park with the kids this afternoon. We were there for an hour before it started raining. Virginia has been doing a lot of that lately.

There was a teenage boy at the park for our entire visit. He was blasting his music for the whole park to hear. As we walked out of the park, he was sitting on a post. Just as we passed him, he yelled,


"Yo! Do you know where the emos hang out?!"

Ie Ling and I responded, "No, sorry." I really feel bad about this, but I laughed. I was caught completely off guard. I was a mother of two pushing a big, orange stroller, dressed in Target and Gap, and for some reason he thought that I might know where emos hang out. It sort of looked like he wasn't actually an emo himself, but wanted to be. He looked lost. Poor kid.

Do you know where the emos hang out? The next time I see him maybe I can give him some more information. Better yet, I'll just tell him where the Mormons hang out.

Obviously, you still have the "cool" factor...I mean a real teenager actually asked you for info which would be 411, right? you shoulda told him to google it.....so funny, I haven't hung out with any emos in a long time (highschool) myself....maybe i will look to join there group as well.

Not only do I not know where the emos hang out -- I don't know what they are!
