When Teens Read Newspapers

Today, Taylor read the Jonesboro Sun. At lunch she decides to go over the articles she read without letting me in on what was going on. We are riding along Falls Blvd, she is jabbering away, I'm a million miles away thinking about what all needs to be done this afternoon, doing some banking in my head, wondering about laundry, etc.

Taylor: Our post office moving I wonder why.
ME: What did you say?
Taylor: I said our post office is moving to Jonesboro, now we'll have to drive all the way to Jonesboro to get mail. Bill will not be able to walk to the post office now for sure.
ME: our post office is not moving to Jonesboro, thats 45 miles away.
Taylor: the newspaper said it was moving to Jonesboro. If you get to go get the mail can I go so we can go to Chili's or maybe Colton's?
ME: Jonesboro built a new post office and the old post office is moving into the new building.
Taylor: oh, okay, can I get a new blog background? I saw one that was called kiss my lips and that's just trashy. I don't want that one. I'm thinking that I don't like Dr. Jackson anymore. He gave me a shot and blew up Mary Margarets lips. Did you know he has green eyes?

Him: "Watch the news?"
Me: "Don't have TV service, remember?"
Him: "Online then?"
Me: "Oooh...speaking on online, did you see that email I sent you? oh and did you get a chance to read my blog? cuz it was funny, I blogged about S-*-*, without really blogging about it, cuz I blogged about "chocolate" and then some woman who is my mom's innocent friend totally thought i was really talking about chocolate cuz she started telling me how the dark chocolate is actually better for you..."
