Yesterday I saw a young teenage friend of mine, and at the end of our visit she asked if she could write on my hand. I’ve seen a lot of my tutoring students do this, and I was so excited that apparently I was considered “cool enough” by a 15-year-old to become a part of the Ink-“Tattoos”-On-Your-Hand Club.

“OK, you can be The Pimp,” she said.

“Well, what are the other choices?”

“It’s either ‘Pimp’ or ‘Ho’.”

“Uh, yeah, OK, I’ll take ‘Pimp’.”

So here I am, exercising my positive influence over the younger generation, and once again using my powers for good.
