Yeah, I'm Bout it

During my time in middle school, the label “bout it” became popular, as if the stars aligned just in time for it to be used as part of some insidious agenda to destroy me. As children, we made up words all the time, silly words to describe feelings and experiences that we didn’t yet have the vocabulary to describe. Some of us had parents that would laugh it off and correct us and some of our parents never thought it was funny.
