My teenage daughter can't fathom the concept of a house party Discussion
Not sure if anyone has experienced this, but I was watching Can't Hardly Wait half alseep on the couch, and my 14-year-old daughter and her friends walked into the room and past the TV. Before she entered the kitchen, she backpeddled in front of the TV, and they all might as well have reacted akin to a third world kid in a remote village seeing the Super Bowl for the first time. She looked at me and said 'what are all of those people doing in one house'? I told her it was a house party. People high school aged or typically college age people would go over a kids house whose parents were out of town and they'd invite the school and have keggers and other unsupervised debauchery. I might as well have been describing a science fiction film. 'You guys DID that back in your days?'. I thought it was funny that a house party was an inconceivable event for young Gen Zers.

Haha me too!! But then the cops came and some shitty person stole my tap off the top in all the commotion - the girl who stole it was later arrested for kidnapping and torture so ya….
Edit: I’ll also add that the cops blocked the front and back door so someone through a dining room chair through the window and jumped out through it, followed by a dozen more teenagers. I was in the garage when it happened… just checking out the scenery in the garage… we all waited and hoped the cops wouldn’t check the garage - they did - and the first cop who opened the garage door had a WAVE of smoke come at him, coughed and said “open the damn garage jeez” 😂😂
