College kids look at you with a blank stare when you mention names like Tiny Tim (happened to me) or Lawrence Welk (happened to my sister-in-law). Or, you hear yourself saying stuff like "what the heck is this I-pod thing? I just don't get it." Yes, I said that, and scared the heck out of myself!  | ||

You put the keys in the ignition and you hear from the back seat, "Hey dad, you're not gonna put on any of that creepy jazz music are ya ?". You're walking down 7th ave (Bklyn) with the dog and your son in a back pack device and your son slaps your head and proclaims to everyone, "My Daddy Bald". | ||

You mention the Ramones to a coworker and she says, "Oh yeah, my Dad was really into them." You run upstairs to get something and by the time you get to the top of the stairs, you forget what you'd gone up there for. These really happened to me. | ||
