Maggie Shayne Quote

It occurred to me that kids could easily take over the world. They could hack in and use our own technology against us. Or just decide to stop helping us figure it out to begin with. Either way, we adults would be relegated to a life of servitude and there would be weekly keggers in the White House rose garden. The only reason this hasn’t already happened is that the kids haven’t figured it out yet. When they buy a clue, it’s gonna suck to be a grown-up.
