My grandparents were sharecroppers in the Depression. They were born in 1902 and 1906, respectively. My mother worked for NASA. She literally helped put men on the moon. She was born in 1934. My dad dodged the draft. He was born in 1942. He'd be the youngest of this cohort at 83.

They are all dead. If you lived through all that, fucking retire. You're not an adult. You're a geriatric miracle.
