When Ariel says “but daddy I love him!” And you find yourself agreeing with King Tritan

You’re 16 Ariel and you don’t even know him!

@AlCalavicci I'm constantly trying to find the full series on streaming services, only season 1 is ever available even for purchase. I don't even have a DVD player these days so hard copy no good to me. No idea why it's not available

Amazon prime has it (£10 per month for Prime )

That there are now adults who don't remember 911 or life before it.
I mentioned Beverly Allit the other day in conversation with one of our newly qualified nurses and she did t know what I was talking about.

I'm worse tgan tgat Toddlerteaplease! I actually say things to my children that my Mum said to me. A classic is the phrase she always used when she disapproved of a potential purchase but wouldn't actually say I couldn't have it "Well its your money......" I actually said it to my youngest today. Arrgh! I increasingly sound like my mother and look like my father..

A few years ago I was in the 'retro' room in a club. They started to play a Beyoncé song that I genuinely thought was a current tune. I just got my coat, left and never looked back.

I suddenly realised she had no idea what a camera was

I have a 'Polaroid' camera, it's been to a couple of family get togethers and is popular with the under 20s.

Their selfie attempts are fun as is having a 4 year old tell you, "look it starts white, then you have to wait".

When a student asks you about your GCSE grades and you say, "I didn't take any GCSEs, they hadn't been invented".

Then they don't believe you until they check with google.

Woolworths is a supermarket in Australia.

Yes I had the awful realisation several years back that dd and her generation have no memory of the world pre 9/11, I knew of course but it was little things I started noticing like how it's totally normal for them all the security at airports, the increase in racism is hard to explain to them, increased govt surveillance seems perfectly normal and reasonable to them...
