Twenty One
Friends of elementary aged males, does your son say, "Twenty One?" A lot? There's this whole sequence he would go through: What's nine plus ten? Twenty One! Or on the way home from church today Alexa would say, "Andrew- jump out of the car!" and wait until Andrew responded, "Twenty One!"
He's been saying it for a week or better. When I first heard him saying this stupid phrase, I ignored it. Then I started wondering . . . WTH?! Why does he keep saying this, and more mysterious, Doug seemed to have some knowledge about the phrase. When I asked about it, Andrew couldn't explain it, and Doug sort of shook his head, but didn't offer up any kind of explanation. Several days later . . . I started to get sort of paranoid about it. In a government conspiracy sort of way. My theory behind the stupid phrase seemed far fetched, and unlikely . . . yet . . . what if? (my theory was that it was some sort of secret boy language and they were communicating secret messages to one another. Keep in mind- I ran home from walking the dog one night because I thought I heard a werewolf in my neighbor's yard. Over active, unreasonable, irrational imagination is a re-occurring problem for me.)
Today at lunch I demanded an explanation. Andrew says, "I don't know what it means. But all the 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade boys say it." Doug did the mysterious eye roll, which only furthered my paranoia. I told Andrew, if he didn't know what it meant- maybe he shouldn't say it. How did he know he wasn't saying something inappropriate?! Doug in the meantime- has found a link to "explain" this mysterious phrase- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdFfEOd3ioQ. Seriously? This explains everything. I hate South Park. Hate it. I think it, and it alone, is leading to the downfall of American Society. It show cases ignoramus, moronic, idiots. It is NOT funny- in any capacity. It is offensive on every possible level. In this 1 minute clip it pretty much illustrates every part of what I hate about the show. It is thoughtless and irresponsible. It spawned other thoughtless and irresponsible cartoons: Family Guy and American Dad and others. People are foolish enough to think that because it's a cartoon it's okay for their children to watch. Nothing could be further than the truth. The creators have gotten all this credit for how ground breaking they are. Yeah- ground breaking at teaching others to be rude, insensitive, and ignorant. Way to go creators. You nailed it.
Yikes! Holy cow. Where did that bandwagon spiel come from?! Clearly I have some suppressed (or not so much) feelings I need to deal with. Anyway- once I realized this stupid phrase Andrew keeps saying comes from some dumb South Park clip (that he has NEVER seen)- I was stumped. Really? Why does he say it constantly? It's ridiculous, makes no sense, and is stupid. But . . . now friends- if you didn't know what the heck your son was saying, or why- now you do. Count on the Latta's to explain the weird sayings our children come up with.
