Things you learn from teenagers

I'm learning bunches this trip.  Did you know?

• If your sheets are filled with dead skin and sand, you just need to shake them - they don't really need washing?
• It is possible to send/receive approximately 500 texts in less than 3 days - to one person?  (this one really makes no sense to me as texting is available year round, but seems to be much more popular when you are in the same town (or even the same car) as this person.)
• It's completely possible to forget to wear shoes, shirts, towels and anything else you left the house with.
• Coral pieces can work to play toss.  And adults aren't very good at toss (I was told maybe it was just me)
• It's possible to have 1400 "followers" on Instagram.  And if you didn't know what Instagram was, teenagers can have to set up in minutes (word of warning though, the median age of your "followers" will be about 14)
•  Shaved ice, a soda and a sandwich don't count as a meal or a snack.  I guess it's just something that holds you over until the next grazing.
• It's completely possible for you to remember the name of the dog (Sherrie) of the guy at the beach from last year.  
• That it is completely possible for some adults to age, yet still act less mature than the real teenagers.   Even the teenagers recognize it.
• And the highest compliment you could ever be paid is:  "We all want to go with you, we don't want to hang out with the adults".  At least I think that was a compliment.
