Really old, you know, 1984

Riding the bus: June 19, 2008

Female Camden Creative Arts HS Student to a classmate: "We watched this old movie, from like 1984, it was called Breakin' 2... you know like Mr. [So and So] told us about Break Dancing? It was called Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo AND Ice-T was in it! He was rapping in it. He was so skinny! It was crazy."

I fought the urge to blurt out, "I love that movie! And, then when they save the community center..." Because the end of this story didn't need the anecdote about the crazy white woman who rides the bus with them adding to their conversation. But, really? REALLY? They learn about break dancing in school now?
