I’m ok to be an Unc. Its means a lot where I live and is a sign of respect. Uncs and Aunties hold the world together.
But it also means getting older 😭
I have no problem with growing old, quite, slow, and deliberate. There’s upsides.
Can I just trade like, 30 years of my life for lifelong youth

Okay.

*shoots you in the head*

A mercy, honestly
Better than getting dead, which is the only alternative. Also, not everyone gets old, we who do are the fortunate.

Better than getting dead,

Press X to doubt

EDIT: Damn, let a millennial yearn for death 😭

Ehh, it depends. Babies can be legit uncles.

Also, I’ve got too many folks younger than myself complaining about chronic aches and pains when I don’t have any that aren’t self inflicted.

Welcome to life on the internet
I’d be more annoyed about the misuse of “boomer” than about being called “old”.

Ok Boomer… /s

I caught myself lecturing a young recently hired colleague about about the correct use of boomer, and realized as I was talking that the kids have rewritten the rules when I was busy being old

Young people don’t care about generation labels. The only divide is young vs old (with “old” being anyone older than them obviously). And “boomer” is a fun word to use as a pejorative. The fact that it makes people mad when used “incorrectly” makes it even better.
Yeah I’m getting grey hair but I CERTAINLY don’t deserve getting lumped in with Boomers.
I would be honored to make it to boomer age. Many are denied the luxury of old age.
Just get ‘em back by calling them a millennial.
See who’s laughing when they die fighting their neighbour for the last crumb of lembas bread because we ruined the environment.
