Kids These Days and Their Funny Ideas About Being “Old”
Hey there, welcome to The How-To Zone! Today, we’re diving into some laugh-out-loud reasons why kids today think they’re getting old. Spoiler alert: you might find yourself nodding along because you’ve done all of these things too!
1. Using a Landline
Remember when phones were attached to the wall? Kids today think using a landline is ancient history. If you’ve ever picked up a phone with a cord, they might think you’re from another era!
2. Watching TV Shows on Schedule
Once upon a time, we had to wait for our favorite shows to air at a specific time. No streaming or binge-watching back then! Kids today can’t imagine the agony of missing an episode because you were stuck in traffic.
3. Writing Letters
Pen pals, anyone? Writing letters and sending them in the mail was a big deal. Kids now think it’s a quaint tradition, but for many of us, it was just how we kept in touch.
4. Using Physical Maps
Before GPS, we relied on actual paper maps. Kids today see maps as something from a history book. If you’ve ever unfolded one in the car, congratulations—you’re officially “old” in their eyes!
5. Developing Photos
Waiting to see how your photos turned out was part of the excitement. Kids are used to instant selfies and filters, so the idea of developing film is mind-blowing to them.
6. Renting Movies
Who else remembers Friday nights at the video rental store? Picking out a movie was an event. To kids today, it seems like a prehistoric ritual compared to streaming whatever they want, whenever they want.
So, if you’ve done any of these things, take comfort in knowing you’re not alone. And hey, maybe being “old” isn’t so bad after all!
