”when i was your age i-”

yes but this is not 1985 anymore things have changed literally everything is different so what you did when you were my age is completely irrelevant why is this so hard for parents to understand

1985

……

Good lord I’m old 

Also? No, some experiences we had back in the dark ages are still relevant (also kids have been saying this about their parents since the dawn of time)

Convo between my 7year-old students today

Josie: I have a new crusshhhhh
Matt: Me too! On a boy!
Pearl: You’re a boy with a crush on a boy?
Matt: Yeah he’s really cute.
Pearl: Oh.
(pause for a bit)
Matt: Boys can like boys. I just can’t marry him because boys can’t marry boys.
Me: Yeah they can. You can marry whoever you want.
Matt: Really?
Josie: YEAH my tia has a wife so now I have a titi and a auntie.
Matt: Okay. Then maybe I’ll marry him.
Dave: (from across the room) No you can’t you’re seven.
(Age was apparently the only foreseeable problem anyone of my elementary schoolers could see with gay marriage.)

My friend: Do you like My Little Pony?

7-year old: I think I might be a little old for that.

I feel like I got owned by a little kid. But I still made her listen to Smile Smile Smile and she liked it. So there.
