There's an energy about them which helps me understand how I was at that age. There's a surface hardness and an inner innocence.
In studying Bye Bye Birdie and the inauguration of the teenager; it's appropriate.
If I am going to substitute teach I have to ignore the chatter and this is easier as I watched two adults- one old, one young; last night- demand obedience with impatience when what was actually happening was that the very talented, friendly, well-meaning teenagers were taking a half-second longer than expected to comply.
We're just not hard-wired at that age for obedience.
It takes them a minute.
Well- a second. They're great kids.
