    “No reason to stop you, Stealer Girl,” said Asa, using her baseball nickname from primary school. The last fingers of light glowed from the sunset, fading into a deep cobalt blue. Asa stretched luxuriously. “May I interest you in a hot fudge sundae?” “I’d love one, but I believe the drug store is closed.” “I happen to have a set of keys.” She giggled. “In that case, I would love a sundae.” They walked arm and arm down the dock, but when they got to shore, Nell said, “Oh, Asa, we forgot your blanket.” Using a strong, powerful gait, he strode down to the end of the dock. With some amusement, she studied him as he walked back toward her, wondering how Asa never looked like he belonged in his clothes. The starched shirt under his jacket strained against his massive chest and looked wilted in the humidity. He wore his boater hat to reign in his unruly hair, but now it was askew as he trotted back to her. “What’s so funny?” asked Asa, catching her smile. “I was just thinking that you look like your wearing your cousin’s clothes.

    Do you remember Dexter’s Laboratory? Do you remember the Nintendo N64? Powerpuff Girls? Dragonball Z? Well then, you must have been born in the early 90s, because only 90s kids remember the 90s, right? If you had taken a look around the room just now, you would have noticed that when I made that ludicrous statement, no one was shocked. Why is that? It is because we have heard the same statement made more times than we can remember. You’ve heard that only 90s kids remember the 90s everywhere. On…
