O.k...it was a slap in my face when I turned 30. I spent my 20's in college and was used to being the "young one." But a few weeks ago, I realized how dated I really am.
I was at my mother's house with my two nieces (ages 8 and 13). My mom brought out a box of toys from my childhood that she had saved for the grandchildren.
She pulled out my Fisher-Price wind-up record player. The kids just looked at it. The eight year old said, "What is that?" The 13 year old said, "it's an antique stupid."
I sat and listened as the older child explained to the younger that an antique means "something's really old." And then semi-laughing, I heard the words I didn't think I would hear for a long time. She continued explaining, "You know, really old like Julie and Grandma."
:roflmao:
I sat stunned, and without hesitation, I found myself blurting out, "Actually to be a true antique it needs to be at least 100 years old, and I am not 100 and neither is my record player!" (Was that the Keppra talking???...and did I just defend my record player???)
Well, this is "Antique" Julie signing off for the night. And Molly, "Danger Will Robinson"
