Generations

What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state,

than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?

~ Marcus Tullius Cicero

Joe:  I was reading an article Sara showed me.  Guess what the generation from 1860-1882 was called.

 

Sara:  (laughing)  Joe, you are ridiculous.

 

Me:  I don't know.

 

Joe:  The "Missionary Generation."  Do you know why?

 

Me:  Because they didn't have cable?

 

Joe:  (laughs)  I wonder when the "On the Kitchen Table Generation" will be.

 

Sara:  I bet that wasn't the first thing that went through your head.

 

Joe:  Oh no.  The first thing was much worse.
