Youth

Been feeling quite old lately what with teenage girls running around the house during SSoT.

Last weekend my sister and I were watching tv in the basement and we came upon Ghostbusters.

"What is this?"

"Ghostbusters."

"What's Ghostbusters?"

"You know, Ghostbusters."

"..."

"When there's something strange in the neighborhood..."

"..."

"Who ya gonna call?"

"..."

"Ghostbusters!"

"I don't get it."

My sister has never heard of nor seen Ghostbusters in any of its permutations. It blew my mind.

And of course, while watching Ghostbusters, we saw a tv spot for the new X files movie and it has a narrator saying something like "...together again" and my sister asked me "What do they mean 'again?'"

I had to explain to her that the X-Files was a television series and that this was the second film.

I spent the next few minutes pondering what else my sister did not know about.
