    My BFF's son is 14 and has a pic of a girl in a bikini as his screensaver. He told me he got a new phone for his birthday, and then he asked what kind of phone I had when I was 14. I said, "the kind that plugs into the wall and has a cord".

    And his little sister is 12. I was babysitting the son the day she was born.

    When I go into a convenience store and see those signs that say " You must have been born before 1994 to buy tobacco and before 1991 to buy alcohol". I was already out of high school when these kids were born (and sadly, I still get a little disappointed when I don't get carded).

    In Back to the Future Marty went back 30 years to 1955, if that movie were made today he would go back to the year 1982 :noway:

    -People that I went to High School with are now grandparents.

    -All my favorite music is now considered "Classic".

    -Kids that I've know since they were in diapers are getting married & having kids.

    -I hate most of today's popular music.

    -I don't understand why/how kids behave these days.

    -Kids do/say things these days that would have gotten me back-handed/spanked/beaten with no repercussions whatsoever for them.

    -Kids now have a sense of self-entitlement because everything they want is freely given, whereas everything I wanted as a kid I had to work my *ss off for.

    Yep, I do in fact realize that I'm saying the exact same things that my parents & grand-parents before me have said! Totally think it is true though!

    Perfect example: My husband's best friend's son (18 yrs. old!) actually said to him a few weeks ago -

    "Dad, you need to go get a better job so that I can have money."

    THE 18 YR. OLD KID WAS SERIOUS!!!!

    Obviously, he said no. If I had disrespected my parents like that, even at the legal adult age of 18, I would have gotten back-handed across the face/beaten with a belt until I learned what respect was!

    Actually just yesterday I was teasing the wife about taking up smoking again (quit a year ago now). I was joking about grabing a pack of Harley Davidson cigarettes and jumping into my 1978 Nova to go for a spin just like my buddies and I did when we were teenagers.

    I said something like, "ah, how booring life was just a short 10 years back." Then she laughed in a rather cruel manner and said "Try 20 Einstein.". My brain was automatically doing the math as if I were still 25 instead of 35. I think I'm missing something!

    1, 2 Freddy's comming for you. 3, 4 better....
