Kids these days!
Lucy, Phollower, and I were driving back from hockey tonight with another girl we play with. She had recently seen Horton Hears a Hoo and said they had called the mayor a "boob" which she thought was kind of weird. Phollower explained that when Dr. Seuss was writing, in the 60s and 70s "boob" was a slang term for idiot or moron. Lucy says, "How do you know that? You guys weren't alive then were you?!?" Yes, Lucy, we were alive almost 40 years ago - thanks for asking.

The sad part is they were so much more fun bank then, now they are just vulgar.
Wow I think just saying that makes me old.

Next time, shove a puck in her mouth and tell her to respect her elders.
I never really thought about it, but maybe we need to stop calling the TV the "boob tube" in front of the kid. Since we don't get any of the premium channels, it might confuse him. On the other hand, he'll probably figure out soon enough that the real boob tube is teh internets... (or whatever the kids are calling it these days).
Sounds like Lucy needs a good hip check next game.
Assuming you old folks aren't worried about breaking a hip.
Wow People! Let's not hip check me!
In my defense, I always think of you guys as much younger than you are, which is more of a compliment than an insult!
So it makes sense that you guys could not have possibly been alive during that time... and then i do the math, after i get in trouble of course...
One more thing, I thought you knew that because of the (really high) degrees you have! We definitely did not cover the other meaning of boob in my bachelor!
And you know me and my speaking abilities, it never comes out right! it's a wonder i don't get in trouble more often..
