Old

Oh, wow. My little brother is going to be married in a couple of weeks. And Kevin and Ernie just had their birthdays, and soon I’ll be 26, almost 30. We’re getting old. I think it really hit me when a 4th grader told me that he was born in 2000 during recess today. 2000 — that was when Y2K was freaking everyone out and we were in high school. And some day (very soon, actually) we’ll have to tell kids what it was like in 2000. And 2001: A Space Odyssey will be a comedy show, to them.

The scariest thing about being an adult is waking up and realizing your high school is running your world.
