Scary
by Mike
Image Text: I'm teaching every 8-year-old relative to say this, and every 14-year-old to do the same thing with Toy Story. Also, Pokemon hit the US over a decade ago and kids born after Aladdin came out will turn 18 next year.
No hidden meaning here, but this sure is scary. I remember graduating college and seeing a banner welcoming the class of 2010. I was half expecting them to be robots. What's being implied here is that time is moving really quickly and we're getting older faster than we think. Events that seem like they "just happened" have happened long enough ago for a whole other person to come into existence, grow up, and learn to carry on a conversation.

I don’t see why this is scary… is it because it was so long ago?

It’s because we don’t think of those events to be *that* long ago. I think it’s a little weird that there are 8 year old kids now that weren’t alive during 9/11.

The worst is people whose first Zelda game was Wind Waker!

I have an 8 year old kid, born 11 months after 9/11

Just a minor fix, if I may. I don’t think it’s to learn to carry on A conversation, but the 9/11 in particular, cause it’s not a topic for small children.
That’s how I understood it.
