We had Thanksgiving with Debbie’s family on Thursday and with mine on Friday.
The young’uns in our families are the millennial generation [1]. We’ve watched them grow from infants to the young adults they are today.
My generation loves to bash the millennials. The opinions run from the millennials are the worst generation ever and the world is doomed to the millennials are the worst generation ever but the world may survive their awfulness.
I don’t get it. I look at these kids, and they’re all right [2]. They’re smart. They’re more than smart; they’re bright, they sparkle with intelligence. They’re ambitious and hard-working. They’re tolerant and kind. Now I’m not looking through the world with rose-tinted glasses. They can be dumber than a bag of hammers and you just shake your head at the wonderment of it.
But these are good kids, and it’s been a pleasure to share in their lives.
We’re handing off the world to good hands.
1. Millennials are those born roughly between the early 1980’s and the early 2000’s.
2. Or “the kids are alright” as my g-g-g-generation would say.
