A Senior Moment - 07/12/07 05:53 AM

I got this in an email today. While it has been around, I like it...


A Senior Moment

A very self-important college freshman attending a
recent football game, took it upon himself to explain
to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was
impossible for the older generation to understand
his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one," the student said, loud enough for many
of those nearby to hear. "The young people of today
grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars.
We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing ....and," pausing
to take another drink of beer.

The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's
litany and said, "You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young........so we invented them.
Now, you arrogant little sh!t, what are you doing for the
next generation?"

The applause was resounding...

I love senior citizens!!!

I want to hug him.

Is it a bad thing that I have moments like these with kids before 40?
