(let me just say that if a mom EVER said that to me ans she wasn’t a mother 21 or younger. I’d leeve no questions asked)
Also that Apollo post cracked me up the moon landing seems so far gone to me. I’m 14 and recentally I’ve felt old realizing that all people born in this century are no longer babies, and that people born in my decade are listed as being able to buy cigs at the shop

It’s so tru that those of us in the late 30’s to early 50’s are in a bit of “situation” when I text my sitter she texts me right back. When I text my driver to pick up a pair of “readers” they end up on my desk. Regarding the “idiot” comment above….. Bitter table for one. It’s a new world we can sit in museum archive or enjoy the fruit of the younger generations labor. I look forward to this book and feel it will have some fun tidbits for cocktail conversation.

You’ll come off as a desperate-for-your-youth back poser if you EVER IM/text your sitter. Don’t be an idiot!

I remember the first time it hit me that I am seriously old was when a younger friend of mine told me her birth date (including year) and I realized she was born the day AFTER Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969.
