The Ageing Process.

"Nice haircut."

"Right now, grandmom's bark is definitely worse than her bite!"

"Grandpa, how did you ever survive without apps?"

"I had a great weekend... My Grandpa talked about the war again and my Dad about his most daring facebook comments!"

Pre-Old Blues

'Beware of the teenager.'

"1972: Kim and Doug invited us to their key party... Sounds groovy! 2017: We just got an evite from Kim and Doug to join them on an ayahuasca retreat in Peru... Tommy starts hockey and my father is about to die—no way."

'You may disagree with me now, Son, but when you're 500 years old, you'll understand.'

"1971... 2015..."

"Gramps, you were alive before everyone knew what you were doing on social media... What was that called?" "Bliss!"

"Date of birth?" "1989." "In 1989 I couldn't make ice... still can't." "Good lord, she could be my daughter! I'm so #!@* old." "That's the year my wife left me. Now I have a cold and I'm depressed!"

'You're lucky you're just a kid and don't have to worry about things like going out and getting a job when you're supposed to be retired.'

Bubbies and technology

'...and so begins the generation gap.'

"It's called a mobile... but I've been here an hour and have yet to see it move."

T-shirts read: 'Rock against racism' ; 'Classical against antisocial behaviour'

"From rocker to rocker."

"I suppose in your day, you would have called these, 'radio dinners'."

When I was your age, I had to walk five miles through snow to skip school.

"Don't tell grandmom about your computer's virus. She'll just tell you to download chicken soup."

"How long do you think it'll take before he realizes I took his phone away?"

'A few years ago that wouldn't have even sounded like a sentence.'

"I'm Generation Z. Nice to meet you."

"Too bad we only see each other when we're hungry! I know! Let's go on a date, a real date!"

"My dad and I are trading important life skills. He's teaching me how to change the oil in the car."

The Crummiest Generation

Never Trust Anyone Under Thirty

"Looks like another case of someone over forty trying to understand Snapchat."

"Enough with the hard-luck stories about spanking and cursive and appointment television, Dad."

Contest time. Mort and Sadie, our ornery octogenarians, have decided to rename Rudy's generation. Mort favors Generation I - for impatient. Sadie prefers Generation V - for virtual. Or vapid! What do you think? Please send your own ideas to asksadieshow@gmail.com. C'mon people, get thinkin'!

"Tell us another story where you interject with a reminder that nobody had cell phones then."

'I spent lots of time on line when I was your age... hanging clothes in the back yard!'

"No, grandpa...LGBT is not some new kind of bacon, lettuce and tomato snadwich."

"This is a computer problem, Grandpa. I don't think you can help me."
