While Owen and Miles talk sports, I people watch. And this is what I see: teenagers trying to act like adults. Or how they think adults act. But mostly they look ridiculous, and I wonder what they don't want to do something that's more fun than drinking, smoking, flirting, and making out. Why are those activities considered to be fun?

Summary

The quote expresses the narrator's observation of teenagers trying to emulate adult behavior and how they often appear foolish in doing so. The narrator questions why these young individuals do not engage in activities that could potentially offer more enjoyment than indulging in vices such as drinking, smoking, flirting, and making out. By challenging the societal perception of these activities as fun, the quote highlights the curiosity about why teenagers seldom pursue alternative and potentially more fulfilling forms of entertainment.
