THEME:   last letters of both words of a two-word phrase are ME   
GOOD ONES:     Kid's response…{& theme}   ME ME      
BTW:   Aside from the most clever theme, this is a typical Monday, except for its being Memorial Day.  I find it telling that this puzzle reflects the ME ME Generation while ignoring today's honoring of our war dead.  I understand it, however, given Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.  Yet the draftees, at least, should be honored for their sacrifice; and, therefore, Memorial Day should be widely celebrated in the media --- even the politically incorrect 
The LA Times.         
RATING: 
   Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
