10.52: the next generation

I once ran across a description of my generation that called us “grunge-listening, Starbucks-drinking, flannel-donning slackers.” Finding it highly amusing, given my great affection for both grunge music and a good flannel shirt, I teased my oldest that he only wished he was one. (His response: “We flannel-donning slackers drink Mountain Dew nowadays.”) Whatever. I am committed to doing my part to raising the next generation right: in flannel. So far, so good – even the small boy has embraced his destiny.
