It's weird to think someone born in 2000 was sixteen in 2016 and now at the end of 2018 they're about fifty.

Context has had a long couple of years.

So true

So so painfully true.

Yeah.

TRUE STORY.

...you laugh, but my older kid was born in 2003 and that's pretty much EXACTLY how it's been.

Hah. I was born in the early 90s and yet somehow this still feels accurate. Including the 16 part. :')

[vass]

Oh god, true.

As a parent of someone born in 2000, I kind of feel that *I've* gained more years than I should have, but they could still do with having gained a few more. Mind you, I have been teaching them to drive :)
