Generation of Boomers and Ys
You are Not a Baby Boomer if you were not born between 1946 and 1964.
If you think The Jerk, The Swim and The Hustle are the nicknames for the Three Stooges. You are NOT a Boomer.
If you have never been to a drive in movie or don’t even know what one is, you have no idea what you missed. You are NOT a Boomer.
If you don’t know that TV used to be black and white and people used “rabbit ears” to get reception. You are NOT a Boomer.
If you think a “party line” is a dance, you never use a rotary phone back those days. Definitely, You are NOT a Boomer.
If you would rather make love and not war, you may or may not be a Boomer. But at least you have the right idea.
After all, being a Boomer is more than just being born at a certain time. It’s a state of mind. And this mind is starting to show signs of senior moments.
If you were born between 1980 and 2010 you are called Generation Y,
Why are You called Generation Y? This is why.
Really thought I am a boomer as a ’67 model… but then Africa was always at least 5 years behind in trends in those days- I associate with al the things you used to identify a boomer…
I kept the list short 😛 tee hee
😆
Funny post. I worked with lots of Y’s. Yep that about describes them.
So, what’s the story with Gen X? 🙂
What Gen X???? 😆
LOL Very funny, P! Thanks for the smiles! 🙂
Love it what I can make some one smile 😛

I might not be born in the boomer age, but I’m more a boomer than I’m not 😉
As for the Y kinds – those pants drive me dilly!!!
That pants belong to the low waist gang 😛

One is reminded of Jeff Foxworthy “you know you are a redneck…” …”you know you are a boomer…”
