THEN AND NOW

So I pick up my son from work.  The radio's on and the song is 'Pretty Woman'.  My son punches in a different station.  He starts laughing.  I ask him why.  "Listen to the song," he says.  But I don't get the joke; the 'music'  sounds like a bunch of noise to me.  "The song," he says again.  "Know what it's called?"  Not a clue, I tell him.  He informs me that the title of the song is 'Sexy Bitch'.  And he laughs again.

Ah-ha.  Yeah.  I get the joke.  It's a generational thing.  When I was his age, girls were pretty (even some of the uglier ones).  Now, they're just sexy bitches.

The passage of time is hard enough.  But the lack of decorum these days is downright depressing.
