WHO are...THEY?

They say we're in for scorching heat 

this week in Jersey.  

Who are they anyway?  

I don't think I've ever 

met one of them before.  

If we were to analyze this, we could assume 

that there is more than one, 

since we always refer to them in the plural form.  It's never 'he' or 'she' ... it's always they. 

I would guess that they are young.  

Most likely under the age of thirty, 

since they seem to have an opinion 

on just about everything.  

If they were employed, 

married or had children, 

they wouldn't have time 

to just go around saying things.  

Maybe there aren't as many of them 

as we think there are.  

They just want us to think so.  

I know that I am not one of them.  

No one ever listens to anything I say.  

Especially my kids.  

And yet I have heard all three 

refer to them many  times in the past.  

OMG!  Did you read what I just wrote?  

'All three of ...THEM!'  

Is it possible that MY kids are actually ... THEM?  

In a way it makes sense. Each one of my kids 

thinks they know it all.  

And I DO have more than one child ...  

hence THEM.'

Is it possible that my kids 

really do know everything?   

That every word they utter is carefully recorded 

so it can be repeated whenever necessary?  

Is this theory even POSSIBLE?  

Am I actually the mother of the chosen few?  

Of ... THEM?  

The Grand Poobahs behind every fact, speculation, prediction and rumor 

between Hollywood and Washington, D.C.?  

ME?  

MY KIDS?

THEM??

Nah.
