What Kids (Really) Want

Their Greatest Desire May Surprise – and Change – You

Every teen wants a cool cell phone. Most want slick cars. Many want the latest video game. No surprise, right? But there’s one thing teenagers want that may surprise you—especially since it doesn’t cost a dime.

But that doesn’t mean it’s gonna be cheap, either.

Disappearing Face Time

If you’re part of a typical American family, you’re constantly strapped for time. Life is busy, work is demanding, and kids participate in every sort of extracurricular activity imaginable. Tag on chores, school, and homework, and you’ve got a recipe for family members living together…yet isolated in silos.

There’s little to no “face time.”

Good Eats

The High Ground Service on Sunday ended minutes before noon so my son, Austin Luke, was not going to be able to make the 45 minute drive home without screaming because he would inevitable get hungry so we had to get lunch around church. Knowing that Austin loves eggs and pancakes Laura and I thought we would just drive over to IHOP (yes I know I-HOP is right across the street but with a 1 year old it was easier to drive). Well there was not a parking place to be found and there were people standing outside waiting to be seated so we knew there was no way that we were going to be able to eat at I-HOPE.

Earlier in the week I found a little pizza place in the Jenkintown Square Shopping Center so we continued on driving through the I-HOP parking lot to the pizza place. After getting Austin out of the car and walking around the side of the building we find out that the pizza place is closed on Sundays. Our quest for lunch was not going very well and by this point it was not just Austin who was screaming because he was hungry but we all were hungry at this point. Then across the parking lot we spotted her, Rosey’s BBQ.


If you have never eaten at Rosey’s then you need to go there right now because their food is finger licking good! I was so happy that I-HOP was packed and the pizza place was closed because other wise I would have not been able to enjoy the “crunchy spicy sandwich”! This sandwich was packed with delicious pulled pork, slaw, and spicy potato chips. Half way through eating the sandwich I had to stop and take a picture of this piece of art and trust me this picture does not give this sandwich justice.


I can not wait to go back and try some of their other items on the menu especially their ribs. If anyone wants to get lunch just let me know and to quote Rosey’s BBQ we can get some “southern taste up north” together.
