Want to impress a tween?

Now, if you think that I misspelled tweet, I didn’t.  I’m talking about tweens, preadolescence between the magic ages of 10 and 12.  These are kids that are in the “double digits”, but certainly aren’t teenagers.  This group can be tough because they don’t want to be treated like kids, but they are still very much children.

 

Now, if you’ve ever tried to impress this group, you know how difficult it can be.  They are wary of the humor that most adults would share with them.  And why not, because when polled, most would tell you that adults “aren’t cool or funny.”

 

Since they are in there second week of vacation from school, I want to equip you with a means to impress one of them.  Just follow these instructions, and I promise they will think that you are the coolest adult ever (even if only for that day):

 

  1. Dial 1 (800) 295-0051.  This is the Nestle Crunch Hotline, so don’t worry about what will be on the other side.
  2. When the voice prompt asks you which language, wait ten seconds.  (You’ll be happy you did.)
  3. After this, press 4 at the prompt.
  4. Listen to the options and select a favorite.  Personally, mine is 3.

 

Just follow these, and I promise your tween will think you’re the coolest.

 

I’d love to hear reactions, so feel free to leave a comment section.  For those of you how do check it out, be sure to not give away the secret.  Oh, and no need to say thanks, you’re welcome…
