Using My Powers For Good-Or Maybe Not So Much

March 12, 2007 By Jenny Ryan 8 Comments

Yesterday I saw a young teenage friend of mine, and at the end of our visit she asked if she could write on my hand. I’ve seen a lot of my tutoring students do this, and I was so excited that apparently I was considered “cool enough” by a 15-year-old to become a part of the Ink-“Tattoos”-On-Your-Hand Club.

“OK, you can be The Pimp,” she said.

“Well, what are the other choices?”

“It’s either ‘Pimp’ or ‘Ho’.”

“Uh, yeah, OK, I’ll take ‘Pimp’.”

So here I am, exercising my positive influence over the younger generation, and once again using my powers for good.

    “It’s either ‘Pimp’ or ‘Ho'” – awesome. It’s even metaphoric and stuff.

    Way to show the younger female generation to choose to be entrepreneurs over being working girls. 🙂

    LOL! well, I’d choose pimp too, I’m sure! My husband would be my “b*tch”, which I do call him a lot. I say, get me some Pepsi “b*tch”. I think he actually kind of likes it. 😀

    Well you can always claim to have had enough positive influence that she wanted to be the beater as opposed to the beatee. 🙂
