As long as it’s lighthearted, I kind of love the goodnatured ribbing between generations. As someone from GenX, of course, it doesn’t bother me because everyone always forgets we exist, so we hardly ever get dragged.

Boomers, though, have a lot to answer for – like these 14 totally legit questions that we need answers for like, yesterday.

14. Loneliness, probably.

Especially these days.

13. They have forgotten the rules, okay?

Also they don’t care anymore.

12. Definitely doesn’t compute.

Some things will never make sense.

11. There’s an easy answer to this…

They are one with their thinking.

10. Because they can’t hear, obviously.

Or they think the phone doesn’t work.

9. If only they knew the founding fathers (mostly) would have hated cash.

It’s not real money! Not that cards are…

8. Better than okay, I think.

But yeah, periods are a waste of time.

Why do boomers always write ok like O.K.? Anyone else notice this?

7. Why do they call it The Walmart?

I assume these things are related.

6. There’s definitely an inappropriate joke here somewhere.

Too easy.

why do boomers feel the need to push their card into the chip reader like it's gonna fall out, like Susan, the chip reader is smarter than you at this point you really don't have to jam it in there

5. I have no idea.

Also, I don’t think this is true?

4. Because they’d have to take responsibility then.

Never gonna happen.

3. No one definitely has a television like that one.

Bless their hearts.

I don't even have a TV, I guess my computer monitor counts but it has no tv channels on it.

2. We know they can’t spot fake news, either.

To be fair, that can be tough these days.

how come boomers think they know what's best for today's world when they still need to ask millennials if an email they received is fake.

1. It is kind of universal.

If you don’t laugh you’ll cry and all of that.

why do boomers love the “😆” emoji so much? i don’t understand

— karson (@karsongoble) June 26, 2020

These have me giggling like crazy! I mean, I like to giggle, so I’m an easy target, but still…
