Oh crap. I see this a lot. My friend always gives them a dirty look and says "What, they think they're hot stuff?"
The parents, I just don't know how they could think it's okay. My mom gave me my first cell phone when I was 10, and I don't think I really used it much until I got the phone I currently have, which I got last July. I never wore makeup much until I got into high school, either. The first time I put on eyeliner was last year in my freshman year. I don't like to go out looking like I want to get laid, I want to go out looking, well respectable isn't the word, that sounds too granny-ish to me, but appropriate. Nice, but not over-the-top. And my mom would sure as hell notice if I did something like THAT.
Well, not anymore. But once my family went down to this beach and every single rock there was g o r g e o u s, so I couldn't help but stuff as many as I could into my pocket. I still have them; they're very very pretty ^__^
It sounds like lots of fun to me! :D I'll be doing this for sure, and my mom thinks it's cool, too. We're gonna take a walk around the neighborhood to see how many people are doing it ^_^
