A snippet of conversation from on the way to church last night, with my eldest daughter and a friend of hers in the car...

Friend: "What about Catcher in the Rye?"

Daughter: "Oh, yeah, we have to read Catcher in the Rye next year.  Hey, Dada - what's that about?"

Me: "A whiny adolescent."

Daughter: "No, really?  What's it about?"

Me: "I told you.  A whiny, complaining adolescent."

Friend: "So... a typical teenager, then?"

Does she have some good friends?

Why, yes.  Yes she does.
