As GenX, one of my favorite quotes I've generated along my little voyage, goes like this:
"Grandpa was right..... about everything."
It's not a fun revelation, but its true.
>When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
Mine goes like this: oh-fuck-mom-was-right...again
Variations on a theme.
For me, my boomer was Dad, but he was the age that most would call him gramps.
Mom, also a boomer, was more of a reminder slash example of premise.
That generated a lot of those: "not gonna let that happen to me" promises to myself..... all of which happened to me ofc.
yup 😉
