How to Embarrass your teenager
Or at least mine anyhoo....
1. Help him upload the video code for Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love to his myspace.
2. Proceed to sing along...since after all...you knew this song when Soft Cell released it.
3. Proceed to tell your teenager "Eh....his version is okay".
4. When faced with "Marilyn Manson is so tight"....look at him in askance and say "Marilyn Manson is 2 years younger than me, and probably bombed at his high school talent show back in 1988 with his crappy Tainted Love version (or his version of "Personal Jesus")...
Watch the shock grow as the teenager begins to furiously search the internet only to realize that...well...Mom is right....Marilyn Manson is 2 years and 2 months younger than Mom..which...when you do the math..means Marilyn Manson......IS FREAKING OLD TO A TEENAGER.
Lather rinse repeat....

Two years to a teenager? An eternity! So MM is eternally younger than you are.
