Just bumped into a new one that I utterly hate.
Starts with a funny story though. I was at Publix getting a few things, and as I was in line checking out, I'm looking at the magazines. The current "Family Circle" had a cover about grilling and claimed to have several recipes. I looked closer, and the mag was only $2.79! Most mags today are 4.99 to 6.99 or more. So I thought, what the heck and grabbed it.
The girl checking me out look to be a high school teen, and the lady behind me was in her late 20s to early thirties. My Family Circle mag was the last thing in my line of items. Once the girl got to the mag, she looked to the lady behind me and said "Ma'am, is this magazine yours"? She shook her head, and then they both slowly turned and stared at me. I shrugged my shoulders and nodded.
The mag is ok. It has a little bit of cooking in it, but is predominantly about all other aspects of family life, especially raising kids. They use the term:
Tween
They use it a lot. I mean a WHOLE lot. That word apparently refers to kids between the ages of 9 & 12 (preteen).
And. I. Utterly. HATE. That. Word!!
It grates my nerves to see it. It sounds so much like a bad porno classification. Whoever coined that word should be shot.
