I'm 33, and I find myself sounding like an oldster more and more everyday. Just last week, I was bitchin' about the high price of gas and cigarettes to my friend's 15 year old son.
"When I was your age, cigarettes were a buck a pack, and gas was 79 cents a gallon!" I said.
Now, I didn't walk uphill both ways to school while carrying my little sister on my back or anything, but I did have a choice to walk four blocks to school or four blocks to the bus stop. Nowadays, the bus stops right in front of the house. What's up with that? And they wonder why kids are overweight.
Another thing that bothers me is that kids just lounge around the house all the time. They'll tell me, "there's nothing to do around here," and when I suggest that they go ride their bike or something, they look at me as if to say - 'why in the world would I do that?'
And here I am now making a list of things that annoy me about youngsters...Man, I feel old.
