Generation Gap
"What type of music do you listen to?" my new co-worker asked me. He leaned forward, his forearms resting on his knees. His counter part, my other co-worker, leaned forward as well.
I turned towards them and announced, "Celtic music, jazz, blues and as of lately, a lot of Mexican music."
Nothing. They said nothing. Both of them blank, just taking it in. Maybe it was because I pronounced Celtic with the hard "K", unlike the way most Americans recognize it pronounce as in the Boston "Celtics".
Maybe it was because Dave is 27 and Matt is 25.
I might as well have said that I listen to Mariachis Music, while dancing the merengue, throwing knives and tossing back tequila.
After a long pause Dave said "I listen to music I can understand".
Smart Aleck.
It's like working with my daughter and her friends!

RE this post: No matter how old (young) you think you are in your head, there's always gonna be some smart ass that going to come along and put you in your proper chronological place...
I had 4 Danish teen-age girls come & stay at my house for three weeks in October while they did a school exchange thing. I'm (cough) over 40. I could not decide whether to be happy or grumpy that when they scanned through my iTunes they gave me a surprised/puzzled look and said, "Hey, you have some good music in here!" Dang kids!! (And i'm with Robbie. You may not shut down a journal that's worth reading!!)
Mary, I am not about being nice.....I am about being REAL..and that you are. :) Anyone who doesn't know how to pronounce Celtic has no valid opinions. hehehe
Hahah! Young wit.
