Bonding over Boomers

I (Gen X) have never told my son (Gen Z) that I follow this sub. While Christmas shopping we were waiting in line at the Costco customer service desk. A Boomer couple ahead of us were extensively questioning the rep about every detail of their membership while the line grew and grew. Later we were driving behind a couple going 20 in a 40 zone. Son says, "Boomers are out Boomering around today". So now have a new descriptive phrase.

Couple of years ago a woman posted that her grandmother had just said, "OK Boomer" to her mother!

I know it's bed time because I read this as "bending over boomers" and I couldn't figure out what NSFW sub Im subbed to that would have such a post.

I'm glad for the wholesome reality.

You should encourage your child to stereotype everyone that is not him. Great job!

He's not a child, he is a young adult. If you have a problem with my story you are certainly on the wrong subreddit
