The Ex-Generation X

(My youngest cousin is about five and is calling me on the phone while I am away at college.)

Cousin: “Hi! I have a homework to do!”

Me: “Okay, how can I help you?”

Cousin: “When were you born?”

Me: “1989.”

Cousin: “You were born in the 1900s?!”

Me: *laughing* “Yes, but make sure you don’t tell your grandparents or your parents that!”

Cousin: “Okay, I won’t! Thank you!”

(My status as an ‘old person’ was solidified after she learned that I know what a VCR is, and I know how to work it.)
