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.)
