The world is a very strange place indeed.

I got into a flame war with a 13-year-old last night (and I swear if I continue getting mails from her even though I'm not answering any anymore, she's toast). And weirdly enough the thing that stays with me is the question: what kind of parents let their 13-year-old stay up until at least 0244 (that's the time the last mail came) and let them consume masses of caffeine? When I was 13, I found coffee or just any form of caffeine yucky and went to bed at 2200. Is that kid just an exception or are kids today like that? The mind, it boggles.

(also, if anyone wants to see the flame war, I'll be happy to make an f-locked post, complete with translations.)
