Another validation for not having children, lest they turn out to be Teenagers from Outer Space! Although maybe that means they'd head back to outer space and not move into the non-existent bedroom in the non-existent basement.

two things:

You people.

excellent series that you can listen or download here (transcripts too)

a lot of young folks could learn something from this...
