I don't even know how to explain this.
These two teenagers were talking music; different groups and whether or not they were cool. One mentioned System of a Down. The other said, "I don't think those guys have been around that long." I kind of snickered, and they noticed. "What, have you heard of them?" the smart one said. "Yes, I have." I said.
At first, they were a little impressed, like, "Whoa, she knows what's playing now!" Then, they posed the other part of their argument. "So, if you've heard of them, are they new or what?"
Sadly, I had to say {like I have many other times}, "Kids, they've been making music since before you were born."
Their response? "Whoa, they're old!"
Uh, thanks kids. I think.

Same sort of thing happened when somebody did a cover of "Killing me softly" by Roberta Flack ... same response from our kids ... and now it's happening to our kids with kids ... so ... we must be waaaaaaaay old.
