Bah-dum-bum!

We're discussing the incident reports from local schools. They are so horribly disturbing: rape, molestation, guns, knives, posession of 21 bags of marijuana (!!)... Emerson is going into a convent. Now. A.W. makes a "these kids today" comment, and we all begin to compare our own experiences to those of the students at these local middle and high schools.

"It's nothing new," says C.P., who grew up in the rural Pacific Northwest. "Kids brought knives to my school."
"Yeah, but didn't they go skin a deer or something later?" I ask.
"Sure," T.G. interjects. "Kids brought guns to my high school because they went hunting in the morning and hunting after school."
"Yeah, but the Redcoats were coming," I snicker.
