I was holding a bottle of Paul Newman salad dressing when my niece asked me who Paul Newman was.

I told her he was an actor, basically the Brad Pitt of my mom's generation. Then she hit me with, "Who's Brad Pitt?"
If anyone needs me, I'll be at the senior center eating applesauce.

I first found that kind of response from 'kiddies' when I was 25 and they were teenagers. I was already a 'fuddy duddy' teacher! 😟

That reminds me of an old "Peanuts" cartoon joke:

The kids in Miss Othmar's kindergarten class are speculating about how old she might be.
One of them says, "My mom said she's 29."
Another one says, disapprovingly, "Don't be silly. No one is that old."
