My Sense of Youth had been in failing health for sometime, though it had been hospitalized since realizing most of today's pinup models were born in the 1990s, the same decade I was in high school.
This morning My Youth died when it was approached by a co-worker's grandchild (born in the 21st century). The co-worker and her grandchild were going on a road trip, and My Youth in all its ignorance had asked the small girl if she was going to play Slug Bug, the game where if one sees a Volkswagen Beetle one yells out the color and punches the person closest to them.
"You mean Punch Buggy," she said.Witnesses say My Sense of Youth passed peacefully, knowing that a childhood game of his still existed, though its subject change from a VW Beetle to a PT Cruiser proved too much. An autopsy is scheduled for the fourth.
"Punch buggy, yes that's another name for it."
"We do that with PT Cruisers. What's a Beetle?"
Other possible contributing factors to My Sense of Youth's death: Indiana Jones 4, nose hair, LOLcatz, Jonas Brothers.
haha! I sympathize (especially being much older). One of my friends was dating someone younger who had never seen a record. He didn't realize this until he asked her to turn the record over and she didn't understand, she thought it was like a CD where only one side worked. At that moment, he felt incredibly old.
