who is the grown-up?

Twelve year-old Iris peered superciliously over my shoulder as I was downloading "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People. "That's a song about shootings at a mall," said Iris judgmentally.

"Actually, it's about school shootings, and I still like it," I said crankily.

Iris sneered.

"I like the song, Iris," I protested, but her disgust was unmoving.

If Iris had a lawn, you would certainly be ordered to get off it.

It's a comfort to know that at this age, their ocular muscles are getting plenty of exercise from all the eye rolling.
