A recent conversation with my mom:

Me: "Mom, so you know how I'm turning 27 this week?"

Mom: "oh yeah, happy birthday!"

Me: "No, no. thats not what I meant.  I was just gonna say to you that I just realized that that's the age that you and dad got married.  That's so crazy that I'm now the age you two did that!"

Mom:  "Well, you have to remember that we were very young for this modern age."


She was referring to 1984 as 'this modern age'.  You know, FIVE years BEFORE the Tiananmen Square Massacre.  Twenty years before she would pay for internet service.  But you know, AFTER the Great Wall was built.  But ya know, MODERN.
