'Such a friendly new neighbour, Cecil - we've been invited to something called a rave-up tonight!'

"Quite frankly I can't wait to see how your generation messes up everything."

Contest time. Mort and Sadie, our ornery octogenarians, have decided to rename Rudy's generation. Mort favors Generation I - for impatient. Sadie prefers Generation V - for virtual. Or vapid! What do you think? Please send your own ideas to asksadieshow@gmail.com. C'mon people, get thinkin'!

"I can't image growing up without computers or cell phones. Your generation had it rough, huh, Dad?"

"My Dad keeps playing the awful originals to my remixes."

What do you think? - Jessica, rebellious daughter. *(Actual reader letter). Is this serious? Is this a real letter? They're all real. I am stunned. Stunned? What is wrong with children? Defying their mothers? Do you know what would happen if we had defied our parents like that? What? They'd have sent us to live in the old country with our illiterate cousins who left
