today i was talking to a coworker about boys in their 20s and late teens. they are his preference and he said something about how good looking they are. he’s taking a class at a local night school and is sometimes distracted by one of his classmates.
i had to agree the young kids do look good these days. “i’m sure,” i said, “they don’t look that much different than they did when i was in my early 20s, but for some reason they just look so much nicer!”
i paused.

“actually, come to think of it, that was the end of grunge. they actually didn’t look as nice! they weren’t washing or brushing their hair and their clothes didn’t fit!”
