The word “like”. A rant…

Our son-in-law is a software engineer with a great job with a military contractor. He’s 28. Every sentence he utters has the word “like” in it at least four times (I count them). Went to our son’s graduation from law school last week. Met several other graduates and his new girlfriend. I never heard more “likes” in my entire life.

For some reason, my kids don’t do that. But I’ve become so tuned into it that I almost don’t hear what they’re saying, but make a hobby of simply counting the “likes”. The young gal who stays with our dogs when we travel gave us the rundown on them when we got home yesterday. Must have been 20+ likes in a 5 minute chat. Didn’t hear a word she said otherwise.

Rant over.
