Listen to Gen Z HERE
Every generation has funny little things. And every older generation rags on the younger generations. Sometimes viciously. There is a growing up period that every generation must go through. We did it. Our parents did it. Their parents did it. For a lot of us 40 something parents, our kids are doing it. Today, we decided to have a little fun with some of the things Gen Z does. Nothing mean or unkind. After all these are our kids. Or at least mine. But, like every generation before them, they are coming of age with their own ideas about the world. And today we talked about them.
