Kids these days

I was walking through the Sabbatsbergs hospital area this morning when I met a gaggle of 9-10 year olds coming in the opposite direction. When I’d passed one of them called out to me.

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Sure.”

“Who’s most known (mest känd in Swedish), the Beatles or Abba?”

This question through me. Stupidly I said “Abba, I guess.”

My triumphant interlocutor turned to his friend and said “See?”.

I turned to go, but the vanquished Beatles proponent ran after me. “Are you sure?”

On second thought, I had to concede that the Fab Four had the edge over Abba in global mindshare.

The first kid said “Aaaww, you always have to persuade them!”
