kids these days

I’m writing this on Saturday afternoon, taking a break on the couch in the living room.

My Elderly Relative just wandered into his bedroom and turned on the TV (at ear-splitting volume, natch) in preparation for an afternoon nap.

As he surfed the dial, he happened upon the “Madison” dance scene in Hairspray (1988 version.)

His watching was punctuated by exclamations of “Horse manure! Ahhh, horse manure. Horse manure!” He watched the entire sequence before moving on to another channel.

Update: he’s back on it, now it’s the “Town without Pity” dance scene. He’s starting to get really agitated in his annoyance. I may have to take away his television privileges.
