[Publib] "You Guys"

[Victoria Kemp]

I have worked for years to get my now 19-year old daughter to at least concede to "dudette." She rolls her eyes every time. LOL!

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

Original snippet: I've even heard tweens [another mash-up of a word!] address friends as "dude" regardless of the gender of the one being addressed.
 
My response:
When one is the parent of a teen, you may also be called dude, even if you're mom. LOL I always patiently (or almost patiently) remind my 13 year old son that I am not a dude. :-)
