I guess I am out-of-touch with the much younger generation as I had not heard about these.

At the rate things are going, the Chinese military could overrun the West Coast and our children would be too distracted with their fidget spinners to notice anything, and we adults would be too distracted by our annoyance with fidget spinners to care. There have been times lately, amid the incessant whir of spinners and the occasional yelp of a sleeping dog struck by a dropped spinner, when a Chinese invasion would have been downright refreshing.

So I think it's time, in the interest of America's future, that we eradicate the spinner menace.

I'm going to get on that as soon as I run out and buy the latest smartphone. I just saw a guy with one that has a slightly larger screen than mine.

The article is pretty tongue-in-cheek.

Our granddaughter goes to elementary school in Fort Myers. The school has banned them!
