troubled youth

I was just walking in Capitol Hill, the part of Seattle where all of the riff raff hang out, and I saw something poetic, yet unnerving. Something I'm still pondering.

An elderly woman was juggling two heaping paper grocery bags and a step ladder. The load was awkward to say the least. Just as I was going to offer help, a 15 year old kid ran up and offered before I could. Talk about stealing someone's thunder! The nerve.

Aren't we supposed to have lost faith in our youth by now? Shame on you young fella. You'll get what's coming to you....just you wait.
