Does this make me a Grouchy Old Man?

Well, I was bringing in the trash the other day, when I got to my backyard, and saw the neighbor's kids playing out back. I observed this, then thought to myself: "Silly kids...such childish stuff." I then shaked my head, and went inside.

And then I was thinking...I think that about a lot of things my peers and younger do. Like the actions of the Freshies my last year in HS, for instance, and every time I view the neighborhood kids. And when I got that "KidsEye News" thing one day...

Am I a grouchy old man at 18? :(

Not untill you start talking about the gold old days and telling kids to stay off your lawn while brandishing a shot gun.

Ha, try feeling like you're at least 40 since you were 16...

Well, I have been known to think about the good ol' days...

Remember the "KidsEye News" thing? When I saw that, I thought, "I used to do that sort of thing when I was a kid. Make up papers an' stuff. But mine were much better, and put effort into it. Why, I was even part of a dogwashing business, and..."

That can't be good... :(

It doesn't make you a grouchy old man, I think. I'm not sure, I'm told I'm like that a lot.

No no no, not brandishing a shotgun, waving a cane and gesticulating wildly while half mumbling and yelling incoherently at them.

Yup, my street is filled with grouchy old men, and they're pretty deaf too.

When you start thinking of people as "punk ass whippersnappers" then your ready to start waving your cane at the snot nosed kids that bother you. :)

No, you're not an old man, you're just a cynical young one.
