Where Have The Years Gone?

I have to say that this whole getting old thing is getting under my skin.

I was having a conversation with our 14 year old son (big hockey fan) yesterday and I proceeded to tell the story of going to my first hockey game. Bruins vs. Penguins. I continued saying that I was so excited because Bobby Orr was playing and I had seats right behind the bench.

He threw me an odd look and said, “who the heck is Bobby Orr?” I, feeling old, said, “what?! He was like the …Pele of hockey.” Then I got…”and who is Pele?” I said, “OK…he was like the Tiger Woods or Kobi Bryant of hockey.” The response to that was, “Oh…he cheated on his wife with prostitutes?”

This conversation went on for a few more minutes, until I finally got through to him with comparing him to Michael Jordan and Wanye Gretzky.
It is sad to me how many of my sports heroes are not known by today’s youth.

The one good thing about my …aging is that Mariah has a ‘thing’ for little old men. I think that I am going to give in and invest in a walker.

This is hysterical. The other day, my 10 year old said Snoop Dog was so old, he shouldn't be wearing that big ring and all the bling.

Fuckin' Snoop Dog? Old??

A friend of mine was telling me how they are staying at a hotelish place while their house is being built and it has a desk phone with a cord. Her 8 year old was completely freaked out by it. Gee, are we really that old?

I know exactly what you're saying dude. Em got a camera from my dad, but it was a throw-away one, with actual FILM inside. She had no idea how to use it and kept asking where you look to see the pictures. :)

It's interesting to think of what kids nowadays will not understand or not know of. :)

Hope your holidays are super!

Hilarious! I too have experienced this kind of awkward and somehow embarrassing moment when I went on to enumerate MJ's hits at length with a bunch of teenage nieces when news of his death broke out. I was only met with blank faces and puzzled expressions. Apparently, they only knew about him being the moonwalker and not the song from where the term is derived.

I'm not sure when I stopped looking forward to my birthday, but it's happened. I'm 30 now, and things are beginning to shock me about it...

I think my 10th Highschool reunion was the biggest slap in the head. I didn't GO of course, but 10 years? wtf?

My cousin was recounting a story of him giving the new guy at his job a hard time for being 18... The kid's folks were out for the weekend, and my cousin told him "Be careful in the house by yourself, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern might try to break in".

The kid said "Who the f is Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern??"

A little googling revealed that this kid was born the YEAR AFTER "Home Alone" came out.

I'm remembering seeing movies in the theater that came out before people who are now old enough to drink were even born.

It's just not fair. Youth is wasted on the young.

Reading this just made me feel much, much older. And all I wanted was to plant a stilletoed heel between the cashier's eyes for refering to me as a "senior"...
