It seems if I have entered a time warp these days. Even though everyone is getting older my parents are the ones wanting to be young! My mom is now asking me advice on clothing, etc., and my Dad is wanting to show me how he can out drink me with Tequila. I feel like we are almost switching roles! And it is scary that I am now picking up some of their habits. I have become a neat freak and most week nights I go to bed before 10pm. Who knew that as you got older the people who raised you got younger?
I guess somewhere we meet in the middle though. These days my generation, Gen Y, is growing accustomed to the past. We listen to music from our parents adolescent times, watch movies that were popular at that time, and even some fashion trends have come back. And I feel like parents think it is so weird that kids like what they used to like, but in the end, this kind of answers my question. We are all getting older but are parent's just feel younger because they are reminded so much of what was going on when they were younger. It's pretty weird to think about the fact that my kids will think Justin Bieber is old someday. I never want to get old.
