It's official. I've become one of those, oh God, I don't even want to say it. Ok, so I'll just whisper it ok? Ready? *Deep Breath* I'm OLD. No, I've become one of those older people. You know the ones, when discussing today's youth, they start sentences with phrases like "in my day" and "when I was his/her age." But today, I did it. I was talking with my SIL discussing my nephew and I said it. I said "his generation just doesn't want to work like my generation did." Dear God and baby Jesus - where in the FFFFFFFFFFFFF did that come from? And, when will the "I used to walk to school every day UPHILL both ways" line come out?
Then, later tonight I was driving to my SIL's house and as I cruised down her street (while talking to my BFF on the phone - see? I'm not THAT old) these KIDS (probably like 14-15ish) were riding dirt bikes or mini bikes on.the.road. (which is ILLEGAL in my hometown) (I know this b/c I did the EXACT SAME THING when I was 15).
Anyway, they were coming right at me, they didn't even pick one side of the road - I had to drive RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE! So, as I'm talking with my friend, I yell at these kids "it's ILLEGAL to ride those on the street!" I. am. my. dad. And - this is not a good thing in any way -shape - or -form.
Yeah, they just looked at me like I was some crazy old-no fun having - person. Which is probably what I did when:
I. was. their. age.
Oh God, make it stop!
LOL, we yelled at the kids in my neighborhood last night too.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! I find myself saying things like this too, and I want to kill myself! when did I get OLD??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've found myself saying things like, "we didn't have cell phones to text, and email... we actually had to use a real phone to TALK to people!!" However, I'm as guilty as texting as the next teenie-bopper. But does it make me even older since I still try to be 13???
