Kids these days

(In backlash against being five yesterday, today I shall be seventy-five ;-)

Parts of my journey to work are shared by dozens of teenagers walking to school, and I have observed that all of them wear their backpacks properly, on both shoulders. What is the world coming to? In my day, no one used both shoulder straps, and backache be damned!

Mine was usually worn on the shoulder of some other kid, running away from me and laughing.

I found once or twice that the unfashionable briefcase (mentioned above) could make a fairly effective improvised weapon, thus preventing such thefts.
