I love how something from three years ago is "SOOO OLD!" for a teenager. That's the entire time many of them have been conscious of the larger world.

@1982pencil Год назад

I know right?! 2019 is like yesterday.

@princesskateforthewin Год назад

I agree! In fact, it makes me laugh when they think three years ago is old. (Not making fun of them but genuinely amused.) I was amused when someone asked me what a phonograph record is. I remember phonograph records like it was yesterday. Prefer CDs though. Records get scratched and cassettes get twisted up.

No lie, you should do one of these monthly as a public service to parents. But in the future, have Lola write them so they'll be more accurate. 😎

Problem with having Lola or Penn Charles writing them is that they will be selective.

@@holdernessfamilylaughs It really does happen to all of us. After this video and the Monday vs Friday video, I honestly discovered that I am not depressed, as the "experts" say; I'm just getting older. I seriously needed that video to help me to point out that it is 100% normal. You know, they say that if you stopped going out as much as you used to or you avoid going out even if you make plans to do it, then you're categorized as being depressed. That's the problem in the first place! "Experts" and media have been so wrong, so many times, about so many things, that they claim to be right about. They really do ruin people's lives.

@jenx5870 Год назад

I'm lucky. My "baby" is 21 yrs old, so I don't have to keep up with anything. If I don't understand what they're saying, I make them translate into 50 yr old speak. I am not learning a new set of slang words that will be out five months later. I don't remember sounding this dumb when I was a teenager in the 80s. I think social media changed language for the worse. Totally. 😋

It's like the movie Airplane, "Does anyone speak Jive?" Grandma: "I speak Jive!"

@kynn23 Год назад

One of my favorite scenes from that movie.

@Digglesisdead Год назад

Grandma was the actress that played "June Cleaver" on the 50's show Leave it to Beaver. Her iconic character there was the most feminine, pearls-wearing, housewife Mom there ever was on a show with a typical 1950's all white cast. Her speaking jive to the cool dudes on the plane in Airplane made that gag extra hilariously funny. There were layers to the joke.
