lmao

I just had the following experience on Facebook:

One of Eldest's friend's statuses read: "Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson."

He's 17, so I raised an eyebrow and moved on. You never call tell with this boy.

Then one of their friends commented: "Jesus loves you more than you will know; God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson; Heaven holds a place for those who pray."

The guy responded: "I♥Simon&Garfunkel."

The girl responded: "I suppose you do."

Knowing this kid pretty well (and he friended me, so I feel free to comment), I said: "I'm glad you like the musicians because otherwise you typing out these lyrics worries me. Well, and makes me laugh."

He said: "Eh?"

I thought, "uh oh," but said: "Haha. You don't know what the song is about?"

He said: "Enlighten me."

Gulp.

I said, "Oh dear. It was written about/for the movie 'The Graduate'...which is about a young man having an affair with a married older woman. The phrase 'Mrs. Robinson' is to our generation what the phrase 'cougar' is to yours."

He said, "I wish I knew what those things were. I had to look up Cougar..."

So I got smart and said, "Ok. Shutting up now."

I. am. an. idiot.

Here's to an afternoon at Mrs. Robinson's house...
