I was working with and talking to a youngish (i.e. recent college grad) new person at work recently, and she was talking about taking dance lessons. She had taken some East Coast Swing and later took West Coast Swing. Another coworker asked her about whether she had a preference between East Coast and West Coast, and she responded with some info about each and their differences. Thinking I’d be clever (never a good sign for what comes next when I say that in a story), I chimed in with, “I at least hope there was less bloodshed with the feud between East Coast and West Coast swing than the one with East Coast and West Coast rap.” She gave me a completely blank look. After a bit of discussion, a history lesson, and a confirmation that she was too young to really know much at all about this, I realized that I am now working with children. Or maybe it’s that I’m old.
