Showing My Age

Good morning! I just heard the news radio do an entire piece on teen sexting, straight faced. (Well I can't actually confirm it was straight faced...as it was...well radio...but they certainly were able to control their voice inflections.)  I would not be able to hold it together had I been that reporter. Sexting...it just sounds wrong and embarrassing. Can you imagine being 13 and your parents asking you if you've been sexting lately? Or your grandma using it in a casual conversation around the dinner table? "Oh those tweens and their sexting...when I was their age I walked 10 miles in the snow uphill both ways to get a glimpse of that Harold boy next door."  Why do I feel like that reporter drew the short end of the stick, similar to being chosen to report on a cat fashion show (poor Veronica Corningstone). Does anyone else find this word hilarious, or am I just being a giggly child?
