So, you know those notes we used to write in junior high? The ones we'd fold up just so, with the little pull tab sticking out? That we'd slip into locker slots or hand off in C Hall before third period? Well, having just lobbed one over a row of study carrels at my friend (my muscle memory for folding the things seems impeccable; the aim, less so), I had an alarming thought. Do Kids Today even do that any more? Is the fine art of note-folding obsolete among our nation's bratty pre-teens? Do they just, I don't know, text one another?

Well, no time to dwell on that. My friend replies that she has spotted a cute boy in the hall and I need to go find out if he likes her (yes or no).
