Princesses

I have to work late tonight because I am the manager on duty. Which basically means that if the building burns down it is my responsibility to make sure that everyone leaves the building, that someone calls 911, and that my boss gets called. I can call my boss but I think that people can take care of the other items themselves.Tuesday nights are also interesting because it is Hebrew High School night. For those of my friends not in the tribe (Jewish) this means that a couple hundred Jewish teens come to take classes on all things Jewish and to socialize with their peers. I'm an alum of Hebrew High in Phoenix. Except when I was in the program we cut a lot of classes and went to the mall. But that is a separate story.I am telling you all this because tonight I was in the lobby and a girl walked in wearing a shirt that said "Juicy American Princess." And last week at the community-wide celebration for Israel's 57th birthday I saw a young girl with a shirt that read "Jewish Princess."What the hell is wrong with these girls? Do they NOT realize that being called a JAP (Jewish/Juicy American Princess) isn't a compliment? That it is a HUGE put down? I would have decked someone for calling me that.
