Are there any kids left with traditional values who just smoke good old-fashioned joints in the bathroom during study hall?
In ninth grade we smuggled in vodka to drink at lunch the day we had rolling skating in gym!
Good times.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

My father's family mostly spoke Russian amongst themselves. He didn't speak it to us at home or try to teach it to us at all, but he'd mostly talk to his mother and brother in Russian because they were more comfortable in it. I never picked up any, I don't think my sister did, my brother took Russian in school and speaks it with a Southern drawl. My mom took some Russian in college and can understand it pretty well, and, you know, as far as I was concerned it was just a little easier to tune out than adults talking about stuff I wasn't interested in in English, so it never seemed rude.
I sometimes wish members of my family spoke a language I didn't understand.
My redundancy is a sign of my extreme exhaustion (or at least it is this time). Sorry.

I'm imagining this, and it's making me happy.

Bob bob's father didn't want him to learn Greek b/c in the 70s he thought it might adversely affect his integration into US culture. Now my in-laws use it (or Italian) against us both.
WTF? You married a Greek philosopher?! Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Bob Bob?
Cracks me up when MK goes an instigates a wrestling bout with Loki. He's 16, he tires of it easily, gets knocked sideways with a simple stroke, but it reassures me he's doing OK. Old and wobbly, but OK.
God, I don't have much time left with him.
Hey, Bon, I've been meaning to ask how the budget cuts have been effecting Bob bob.... is he doing okay?
The closest my family comes to another language for hidden expression is teaching the kids to swear in patois so they wouldn't get in trouble in American society.
A couple cousins married Swedes, and one's daughter is being raised by the Swedish father. So we're acquiring language.
