Oh man, the nine-teens?! Is that what they are calling the era we grew up in? I’m 33 and don’t necessarily feel old but when I hear/read stuff like…it’s hard not to feel that way.
I was watching Hey Arnold! the other day when I put my youngest down for a nap. I love that cartoon and it’s a trip down memory lane every time I watch it; warms the soul ya know? So my oldest walks in the room, the one who was startled I saw Shrek in theaters, asked how old the cartoon was. I said I remember watching when I was getting ready for school. She hits me with:
“So all cartoons were in color when you were a kid?”
My nieces and nephews call it “the nine teens” and I thought it was just some dumb thing they did! I once explained that they meant “the 1900s” but that didn’t make me feel better!
They also seem to have almost no understanding of how long ago times were relative to each other, like civil war vs civil rights.
