Things really do stay the same,for instance this latest fad (for lack of a better word) of mannequin challenges claims to have been started in Jacksonville,FL at Edward H. White High School. Odd thing is it seems almost exactly like a game we played when I was a child,it was called "freeze tag". About every generation someone trots out a toy or trend that was around 50 years ago and claims it as their own. It should be flattering to my generation since imitation is the sincerest form or flattery but I find it a little irritating when they take our old tried and trues and without the merest backward glance try to pass them off as their own "new" or "latest" thing. Then again it could be the old and crabby part of me who put this out there.
