Every time I start to get a little smug about closing in on 40 (I still have a few years) thinking I’m surely not as ‘old’ as people who were 40 seemed when I was a kid, I see something like this:

…and then I realize my childhood must seem as silly and backwards to my kids as my parents’ childhood seemed to me as a kid.

And the reality of closing in on 40 hits me.

If I want a real kick in the nuts, I imagine what a future must be like where kids think the world of today is backwards and silly. (as my children’s kids will view today – their parents’ childhood)
