Today I sat in my office and had a coversation with a 5th grade boy about how alternative rock anti-authority bands are totally coming back after being overshadowed by pop for the past few years. He was shocked and amazed that I knew the name of his favorite band: Green Day. After all, he wasn't even born when their first record came out. When I said that I knew some of their songs, I thought he was going to pass out. When did I get old? I distinctly remember having this conversation with my mother several times, except it was me who was shocked that my mom would be cool enough to know about the bands I liked. I guess what comes aroung goes around.
Soon I'm going to be telling them stories about back when I was in school. Wait...I already do that. Oh well.
Oh it gets worse as you get older. Just wait...I am middle aged and work with twenty somethings. When I mention some groups they don't even know who they are. I also find myself looking at some young mothers and thinking they must be cutting school because they look about 15!
ReplyDeleteI really don't know why you were ever shocked by my coolness. I think I am offended by that!
