Like, do teenagers know how to, like, speak?
This weekend I drove, like, my daughter and her best friend to the, like, yknow movies. The theater is like 22 minutes from my house, and the girls were all, like, talking. During this, like, ummm, yknow journey, my daughter and her friend, during the course of our conversation, like, used the word, “like”, yknow, 84 times.
I was, like, ready to, yknow, scream.
My daughter doesn’t speak like this when she talks to us, but I’m horrified it will start. Her friend is by far the “like” aggressor, accounting for well over half of the “likes” but my daughter was chiming in too. What to do, what to do?
