While listening to a conversation between two 19yr old boys, I realized I can't really tolerate their immature jokes and teenage drama. :P A summary of it was quite a lot of foul language (I cringed), joke insults thrown at each other, shallow jokes about each other's well being and their life drama which seemed so minute compared to the drama adults face.
I never felt so old in my life. Hate to admit it but annoyance started kicking in and I had to bite my tongue from being sarcastic. Kids, what do they know about sarcasm haha. This doesn't mean I don't like talking to youth. I really do coz they keep me young & going. But for this I guess it's just the way they communicate? Duno.
It also made me ask myself, How did I even tolerate all these teenage goo when I was in my teens?! Gah. Then again I was once in their shoes so who am I to complain.
But still!!
Trust me when you're my age or older you would know what I'm talking about.
In the meantime I wish them all the best in their teenage endeavours and may they see the light at the end of the tunnel like how we older chaps did. We made it & now we have a new phase of life to deal with -- bigger, meaner, harsher & packs a mean punch compared to what these kids face.
