College Age - A First Posting


11 Nov 2008

ZippityZern (Me-Linda L. Zern) would like to announce a new feature of my Blog <ZippityZerns@blogspot.com> and Website <Zippityzerns.com>. I’m calling it College Age. In my College Age postings, I’ll be sharing some of my more interesting and provocative conversations from my college experience. I’m a fifty-something college kid and they are twenty-something college kids. These observations will be short, sweet, fast, and often amusing.


Sample Posting for College Age


"Porn's not bad," she said, her adorable freckles stretching across her perfect, pert nose. "Besides he's not going to need it  [porn] with me."


Here's what I want to say to the college aged when I get a chance. "Sweetie, as cute as you are, you just can't compete with the porn chick. She never gets her period, has a headache, gets moody, or is too tired to "do it." She never gets pregnant, contracts VD, or has cramps.  She never cries for absolutely no reason. Her breasts never sag, she never gets tubby, or has cellulite. She never says, "No." She doesn't need to talk about relationships. In short, she is easy, and you are hard, because you are a living, breathing, needing human being, so don't be shocked and shaken when "he" falls for the other woman.  You're cute but you're just a real girl."
