Am I getting old, or what?

Standing in line at the drugstore I was behind two young girls, ages I would

guess in the range 10-12. Both, waiting to be served, were staring at the

cover of Cosmopolitan magazine, which was right there on the rack facing the

checkout line. This cover.

I wanted to shout out to the store staff: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING DOING

ON THE CHECKOUT LINE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE? WHAT HAPPENED TO DECENCY?

But, of course, I didn’t have the nerve.
