The teens are correct, I am not cool. To quote Abe Simpson, "I used to be with It, but then they changed what It was. Now what I'm with isn't It, and what is It is weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you."
Now I think I'm slightly younger than Abe was in that scene, but I'm not yet at a place where teenagers are "weird and scary" to me. Juvenoia hasn't set in yet. I'm definitely out of touch, like I don't know what bands the kids are listening to these days, slang is starting to leave me behind. But I think I feel okay with the kids these days growing up in their own decade, which a lot of adults seem to struggle with. I'm going to try to hang onto that.
As for their opinion of me? Yeah sure. I'm a 36 year old homeowner that spent my free time last week cutting back my azaleas and canning a year's supply of homemade jelly. I have a shelf where I keep my carpet cleaning supplies. Any teenager who thinks I'm not cool is pretty much correct. And I'm fine with that.
