Just be you

I thought of this tweet early this afternoon and found it hilarious:

Then, that started a discussion in the office that led to a colleague telling me about a high school upperclassman with whom she is acquainted becoming a runner for a law firm, and deciding to append “Esquire” to his name. He’s also regularly referring to himself in the third person online now.

Understand: we’re taking about someone born in 1997 or thereabouts.

I ask you, dear readers, just like I asked her:  does he ever want to have sex?

So we talked for a bit about other things that are ridiculously absurd affectations on anyone below a certain age of about 40 or so. Ascots are way up there. So are pipes. I’m also reminded of my sociological conclusion on Playboy, which is that its readership consists primarily of college students and middle-aged men who each wish they were the other.

Hey, kids? There’s a lot to be said for liking yourself just the way you are.

Relax.
