Oh, wait, sorry. I was thinking of what I wanted when I was 13.

What do teenage boys like these days, besides boobs?

besides boobs

They are evergreen for a reason

Fairly certain that they're not supposed to be green.

Disagree, green boobs are awesome.

The boy's 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.

FFS BBC, did nobody proof read this?

Something like:

'The boy's 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter. They were found clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.'

The way they've put it, it sounds like the rescue helicopter was clinging to a paddleboard when it found them!
