If you enjoy interacting with people who have strong opinions and minimal real life experiences, may I recommend teenagers.

@medusaousa I'll never forget my daughter coming home after her 1st semester in college, sitting on the couch, and asking me:

"Mom, why were you such a bitch when I was in high school?"

Me: "Because when you're a teenager you can ruin your life in an hour. You can get pregnant or get someone pregnant, you can get in an accident, you can ruin your academics..."

Daughter thinks about it for a beat, and says: "Okay, that's fair."

@medusaousa Let me assure you, it was quite the journey to arrive at that level of understanding. (That latter half of junior year and senior year of HS took a lot of out me as a parent. But anyway, we survived.)
