Guess I'm older than dirt

Whenever I feel myself wanting to judge younger folks, I try to remind myself that I, too, was a weird little prick who listened to music my parents hated, used slang they didn't understand, and wore clothes they wouldn't be caught dead in. There will be generational differences until the end of time and that's natural, but I think it's important to let kids be kids and allow them to define their generation in whatever way they will.

When I was in high school, I was complaining about having to wear the canvass running shoes instead of the same as all the other kids were wearing. You get teased mercilessly for things like that. Dad explained he was not coughing up for the latest trend that would be obsolete in 6 months. He further explained each generation has their uniform. His had Zoot Suits.
