Now, old people I understand. They make sense when they speak (mostly) and they wear sensible clothes. They don't spend so much energy big-noting themselves to their peers.
Also on my way home last night, I overheard an old lady in her 80's talking to her friend. Very different to the teenage girl. There was no slang or talking for the sake of talking. She just said a simple little sentence, and it made my day, for how boring but likable it was. She just said, "I used to hate pumpkin when I was a girl, but now I have a thing for burnt pumpkin."
Don't ask me to explain why that made me happy, it just did. No big-noting. No trying to impress. Just a few words about pumpkin.
