You want to feel ancient, like you were a worker that built the Pyramids. We all remember the Mickey Mouse Club song, “M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E”. If you sing that to someone, whose birthyear starts with a “20”, instead of a “19”; they look at you like you’re having some kind of stroke.

Anyone born in a year that starts with a “20”, instead of a “19” is going to look at you funny no matter WHAT you say. First, for the simple audacity for attempting to engage them in a conversation, and secondly, I’m not even sure if we speak the same language anymore. LOL (all said with tongue-in-cheek) 😉
Weirdly I had a couple of pints last Thursday in a little (very old) local pub called The Sir Gawain and the Green Knight which is a very very quiet place. So quiet in fact that I was the only customer for a few hours. The (part time) barmaid it turns out is 19 years old, so we had nothing to talk about right? Actually…we did chat…a lot… and eventually a young lad about the same age who lives upstairs, came down and then the three of us were chatting together. Weird? Kind of in a way, but I still can’t get over how well the three of us got on despite the 40+ year age gap!!
