When I was 8 or so I watched three old ladies one of whom was my great aunt try to figure out how to connect a DVD player to a tv and just couldnt. I even told them to stick to the same row for all the cables but noooo I was a kid and they knew better, I was sent to my room. Twenty minutes later they figured it out, im 24 and still fucking annoyed at that shit.
This is why I treat kids with respect and understanding. Everyone I meet may know something I’ve never even considered, and it’s worth the time to at least hear them out. It also means that kids tend to trust and respect me without me needing to try to assert any authority, so that’s good.

Boomers.
Nope, silent generation.
Parents being dicks to kids because “ow, my pride!” Is SUCH a pet peeve. Sorry you had to deal with that, broski
it wasn’t what you said, it was how you said it
