Devin (16 and a half) and my 17 year old niece accompanied me to a store. They cruised around, checking out the bounty of goods that JoAnn Fabrics had to offer.
I found the couple of things I needed and went to the registers to pay. As I finished up my transaction and headed for the door, I said, “Come on kids! We’re going!”
Devin caught up with me and said dryly, “Um, I prefer young adult.”
I laughed all the way to the car.

That is funny! My kids hate it when I ask them who they want to “play” with, apparently I am supposed to say “hang out” instead!
XOXO

That’s hilarious! My son is getting to that age where he doesn’t like me to use certain terms that are too “baby”!

So funny. I’m impressed that they weren’t at your elbow trembling with boredom at JoAnn Fabrics.
You should always remember King James English is an excellent and reliable alternative for language barriers in our modern tongue.
“Comest thou hither, the fruit of my loin. We leaveth this place!”
works really well if you’re wearing a long denim skirt w/ sneakers and your hair in a bun.
