I like to give my kid a hard time about me being Gen X. Sent this to him earlier.

[bleep] around with GenX and Find Out

I don't mess around with anyone over 42, they are built different, their families had them formally trained in something by the time they were 2. They had keys to the house by age 5, could cook full meals at 7 and were pretty much self sufficient at 9.

they left their house at dawn every Saturday morning and didn't come home until nightfall. They survived all day on water from garden hoses. They might get a sandwich on the off chance somebody's parents had gone shopping. They spent 3/4 of their lives by themselves witha parent maybe checking in on them twice a month. Most of them have evaded at least one kidnapping attempt and they know 15 different ways to remove blood stains from clothing.

They the real [bleep] around and find out people.

Signed,

A Millennial
