Do teenagers actually talk to adults anymore??

I took a vacation day to spend with my 14 year God daughter and her 2 sisters. I decided to take them to LA LIVE in downtown LA to see the GRAMMY Museum...my way of sharing a little bit of my life with them.

It took approximately 35 minutes in LA traffic the get there from the house. Not one of them talked to me while we were in the car!! Not a sentence, question or word!! They were busy texting and updating their Facebook status, so their friends back in Houston would know they were 'kicking it' in Cali!!!

Once we got to the Museum they stopped texting and chatting only once and that was to complete the Jimmy Jam recording demo. They proceeded to go through the 4 floors of the Museum texting with their friends back in Texas. After the Museum we ventured over to ESPN Zone for a quick lunch.

I tried to start a conversation at lunch but was quickly shut down....they whipped out their phones and began texting and chatting! I was able to snap a quick picture. Well it really wasn't an issue, perhaps they didn't even notice. I'm sure they didn't notice me typing out this blog post.

I would say this was a 'girl/female" thing but my 17 year old God Son doesn't talk either...just wants food. The parents all say they kids talk to me more than most adults. I guess I should just stop complaining and tweet something!
