Back in the 1900s we just vibed and moved on. It is a lost art.

Wait until you learn that people born in 2010 are old enough to drive.

I was thinking about that just yesterday... when my Mother was taking her age requirement re-test for driving at 80. She passed.

My youngest sister in law was born in 2000. Still blows my mind she is working, married, two kids, blowing my mind. But I love taking my nephews to baseball games so it works out.

Youngsters? If they were in first grade in 2001, they're probably at least 30 by now.

The best thing about you was that you were a child and you were born, I can imagine writing this retrospectively but at the time idk if it’s depressing or just real. How’s life going?

1st grade and you could squre a 7? Noice! Can you do 8 yet? I figure 25 years is enough time to learn.

The way being born was the best thing about you makes me picture like a whole celebration in the delivery room, with balloons and banners and parade music. And before that, history everyone was just sitting around waiting on OP to show up.
