And now I feel really old

At any given moment, my company is populated by a number of interns from the nearby university. Usually, they just kind of blend in with our temporary employees. Then, a day like today comes along and we are reminded just how young they really are.

I was talking to the sweet young engineering student who has been with us since last spring. He's a geek like me, so we have a lot to talk about. I don't even recall what we were discussing when I said to him, "Goonies never say 'die'!" 

"What?"

"Don't tell me you don't know Goonies." 

"I just didn't hear you, what was that?"

"Goonie's never say 'die'!"

"What's that?"

"You really don't know Goonies?"

"What's a goony?"

"Damn, you're young."

I actually had to go across the hall and find one of my contemporaries to make myself feel better.

so it begins...seriously it will get worse. I can guess within 3 years how old someone is if they start talking about movies or cartoons.

You should have told him it's his time down here.
