5 Ways I Knew I Was Old Now
when the new hire had never heard of the Monster Mash,
the way they mime phones with flat-palmed, hand flippers,
when NFTs came out and I said, “these are digital pogs,”
they’re calling it the late 1900s now,
when Snapple Elements came back, and I remembered how lovely the rain tastes

Late 1900s is a pain I wasn’t expecting to take today. Also, my knees just cracked standing up 😂
Felt. 😂😂
Keep going! The world has changed so quickly in so many ways. What are NFTs?
It changes seemingly every day! A week ages me like a President. (Sidebar: A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identifier that is recorded on a blockchain and is used to certify ownership and authenticity. – Basically, digital art attempting to have a means of authenticating an “original” file, but it hasn’t really taken with many.)
I think people feel older sooner now—it is hard to keep up! Like your voice & examples!
I think that’s very true observation. Also, thank you for the kind words!
Yes!
And when words of then mean different today.
Nice generational references and angst!
Yes! Language evolves so fast.
