Today, I told my parents that what I'd really like for my 21st birthday is the 1865 edition of the Memoirs of Saint-Simon in 22 volumes that I found online for $200, and have been wanting for months. They laughed and said, "Yeah, right. We'll get you an iPhone and perhaps you'll become normal." FML

I like how the parents of this generation bitch about how the kids are "all illiterate" and we're failing academically, more and more, yet, they would rather buy phones/ipods than books!

They probably want grandchildren someday. Be a kid. Have fun, make some friends and enjoy the social aspects of life!
