Ways to Drive the Young Generation Crazy
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2020 6:23 am
The younger generation doesn't have to do much to drive anyone over 50 crazy. For example, my mother had purchased about six iPods for her grandchildren before she finally asked me what an iPod was.
So, as long as everyone is inside staying safe, why not figure out ways to drive young people crazy?
Here are a few ideas:
1. Call it "the TV machine".
2. Always but "the" in front of any website name. The Youtube. The Google. The Facebook, etc.
3. Insist on adding HTTP://WWW. to any web address you read to them over the phone.
4. The google GPS navigation app is "The Google Lady". As in, "we found it just fine, the google lady brought us right here".
5. Randomly call all your grandsons, nieces and nephews "Billy" and Granddaughters "Adeline". When they correct you say, "I know that, billy".
6. Take them fishing to lakes that have no fish.
7. Stop by the fish market to impress those waiting at home and buy a fish only found in saltwater.
8. Give them a cute time little puppy that will grow to 100 pounds. Do this after they move out of their parent's house
9. Always put a one-dollar bill in their pocket when they leave. Tell them to buy whatever they like with it.
10. Make breakfast when they visit. Make it huge. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, biscuits and gravy, and fresh fruit. Get it ready at 6 am sharp and look really sad when they don't eat it all.
11. Go to Starbucks with them and order "a coffee". Only use the terms small, medium and large to describe the size you want.
