When I was a teenager, we all thought that WE were the first ones to ever (fill in the blank). I guess teenagers have always felt that way. My kids certainly did, and it seems that my grandchildren do now.
When my kids, and now my grandkids, said/say "You just don't understand!" there was/is no way on God's green earth to explain to them that yes, I absolutely did/do. After all, I was never a teenager. I've always been Mom or Gramma
Well, yeah, Bee. In my mind I'm still 16. My body, however, tells a whole 'nuther story, and if there's any mistaking the body, my head of almost-white hair is a dead giveaway!
Sixteen in my mind here too! I think our generation of seniors understands more about the kids today than any other generation of oldsters in the past.
