Arguing To The Moon And Back

My grandfather is having a friendly argument with his friend. They’re trying to figure out who is older, not by actual age, but through the old-fashioned things they’ve experienced.

Grandfather: “I’m old enough to remember when an escalator was installed in the mall, and all the kids got excited and took turns riding it up and down.”

Friend: “Well, I’m old enough to remember having to work in the store during the moon landing, which I hated as we had no customers because everyone was watching it! I could have witnessed history!”

Grandfather: “Well, I’m old enough to remember having no ID when boarding a plane from California to Washington, so I showed them a picture of me from my graduation yearbook, and they let me fly.”

My grandfather won.
