Age-related Identity Crisis

Last night I watched part of High School Musical with the girl for the gazillionth time. There was a scene with the coach, Zac Ephron’s character’s dad and I almost said, “That guy looks my age. He can’t possibly have a kid in high school.”

D’oh.

The boy enters his senior year in a few weeks. And, newsflash from my parents: a classmate of mine from grade school just became a grandmother.

Whoa.

Let’s just say I forget how old I really am. Born in 1970, I have a (size 10, flat) foot planted firmly in Generation X but in Penelope Trunk’s column The Brazen Careerist in last week’s The Hook, it seems I may be more Y than X.

I scored a 17 in her quiz. What generation does your online interaction say you’re a part of?

    9 points. Safely “Gen-x.”

  2. Jennifer Says:

    Definitely Gen-X for me. And I was born in 1969.

  3. Lisa Says:

    Firmly Gen-X with 7 points. I really hate to text-message. (Born in 1970)
