A theoretical conversation

A grandfather and his teenage grandson are watching sports on TV.

A commercial for a phone plan or some damn thing comes on. For about half a second, the image of a young Debbie Harry appears on the screen. The teenage boy perks up.

Grandson: Do you know who that was, Grandpa?

Grandfather: I do indeed. She was the lead singer for a band called Blondie.

Grandson: You had girls like that back then?

Grandfather: We did indeed.
