In a YA book that would be the start of a beautiful relationship...

Speaking of the start of fictional relationships' beginnings. I liked this dialog, too.

"You look preppy," the boy said. The only thing the girl had done differently that day was apply less black eyeliner.

"No, I don't," she replied, "I don't look preppy. You look preppy in that Aeropostle t-shirt."

"So?"

"What's your point, Smart One?"

when they are young, say up to about the age of 12, their conversations are usually extremely funny. If you laugh they don't talk in front of you, so you try to hold your laughter until you go somewhere else. Teenagers mostly talk about each other and they are a lot less interesting when they do that.

I used to write in this journal a few of the things the kids said when they were younger. Asking them if it was okay that I posted their comment, and usually it was. Then, later, they'd say something they thought was cute and they'd ask me, "Mom, are you going to blog about that?"

Sometimes, I come across something amusing while listening to the teens. They have their own subculture/s which I find fascinating.

you are right about teenagers. A young man of my acquaintance in all seriousness told two of my daughter's friends that he had been dating another of her friends for 11 days.
