Too Hip To Be Square

---

This old gal…

Likes to think she’s still hip…trendy…in the know…up on the latest thing…until…she hangs out…with those GenZennials of hers…and realizes…she might as well be wearing loincloth…living in a cave…grunting for communication…cuz that’s how out of touch…she has become…

Those ladies of mine…taking pity…holding the old lady hand…guiding her…carefully…patiently…through new never had before…experiences…pickleball…Thai food…doing the online New York Times crossword…in the car…while waiting…for sushi to go…sushi with crab meat…sushi with raw fish…

Jimmy John’s box lunch…cranberry mango…sparkling water…makeup never heard of…shampoos…never seen before…realizing the fanny pack is once again all the rage…but now called a hip pack…and worn…over the shoulder…can’t even go there…with the complicated cold coffee ordering thing…

This old gal…embraces…the obvious…she’s out of touch…teetering on nerd…dated…old person…but as some things change…others…stay the same…that Eggo Waffle for breakfast…the late night…foot rub…the mid day naps with a pet…on the couch…and the way…even after a year…

These ladies of mine…and their mama…can fall…right back into sync…like no time has passed at all…
It doesn’t get…any groovier…than that…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
