John: "Hey Miss Jones, what's a semi colon?"
"Well, it connects two short sentences that are related. I might write 'John is a darling boy; (STRESSING THE SEMICOLON HERE) he likes to make people smile.' "
John: "Wouldn't I just say 'and' there?"
"Yes, you could do that, but if you are feeling lazy, you can just put a semicolon in there, too."
John: (with the most serious face and finger pointed in the air) -- "I should really look into using semi colons then..."

...Eating at truckstops. That's a good one. I've never heard that before.
rofl.. That actually sounds like something I would say.. I'm so immature. :/
lol
Gotta love the semicolon. Except I still don't use them correctly!
No WONDER I love the semicolon so very much!!!
It all makes sense now.
semi hell. it's either in your ass or it's not in your ass.
*shudder*
I'm with Michel-- I love semicolons, and I'm unbelievably lazy. I feel like this is a revelation.
It's good to know the next generation is well on its way.
Well. I think that means I AM a semi colonWell. I think that means I AM a semi colon......
I love the semi-colon. Sometimes more than my family members. :)
I love this blog; it makes me laugh.

Well we know that at least one person in the younger generation will know how to use a semicolon properly--thank you!
Semicolons are useful; they make writing easier for lazy folks.
Semi-colons are our friends. . . and I don't always use them right. . .
LOL! I should have the semicolon tattooed on my body, I'm so lazy!
I see Eddie Haskell is alive and well.
I never connected conjunctions and their use with personality, until I realized that my kids really did use a lot of semicolons.
Of course, they also type all their schoolwork, being dysgraphic and all.
You are absolutely correct. ; is just easier to hit than those pesky conjunctions. Laziness will out.
I'm thinking that semicolon block is structurally inaccurate; no need for the semicolon or the parentheses after the word. Sorry, I have my editor's hat on today; and though I want to be lazy, I have too much work to do.
totally no need for parenthesus, and think a colon would work better
Whatcha gonna do with a colon : ?
Talks like Yoda ; the semicolon helps ; it does!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. wise child. Learn lazy early! ;)
I don't think I've ever used a semi-colon. I will try to work one in one of these days. Dang it! Missed opportunity. I'm too lazy to go backspace and erase. It's easier to just keep typing.
You are hilarious; I think I love you!
;-)
I've never known when to use the silly thing so have always been lazy I guess.

It only feels like you have a semi in your colon when you eat at a truck stop.

I nominate that kid for President.
I love semicolons. They are my favorite form of punctuation.
