On Wednesday nights I help out with my church's youth group. This last Wednesday, we had a game night. Playing Apples to Apples with a group of 12-14 year old girls is a very intresting thing. They do not vote for the cards you think they would and they say insane things like "who's Sean Connory?" (a sure sign of the degeneration of the educational system in this country, along with the non vote for "Victorian England" played on the "unnatural" card.)
The best part of the night happened after a play of "dreamy" for the green card. A discussion was started as to whom is truly dreamy. The 12 year old next to me looked through her cards and declared that two of them were, in fact, quite dreamy.
"I really like this one, he's totally cute." she said, showing the card to another adult.
The adult looked at the card and replied in the nicest way she could, "Um. That's not a person. That's an event."
The girl had been crushing on "Mardi Gras."
Can't say dreamy is an adjective I've heard to describe that . . . .

That is so funny! I can understand the confusion, though. I don't recognize the names of many of the new stars as people names. I mean, after all, how did a person become Ice T, or Snoop Dog?
