I was inspired watching a famous episode of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER last week. It is the MURTAUGH episode inspired by the famous detective played by Danny Glover in the LETHAL WEAPON movies. He is famous for saying over and over again: "I am too old for this stuff (but he doesn't use the word stuff)." The character of Barney tries to prove to his friends that he can do all these things on the list that people over 30 are not supposed to do. So here is my Murtaugh list for youth workers over 30 years old:
10. No more late night pranks
9. No unusual piercings
8. No sleeping on the floor of a church without an air mattress of some kind
7. No more wrestling with students
6. No more car stereo systems with sub woofers
5. No more skinny jeans
4. No more frosted tips or bleached hair (if you still have hair)
3. No all-nighters
2. No answering the phone from students after 10pm
1. Never accept dares from students (especially when it comes to eating)
