I am so old. Older then Jiffy Pop.
Sebastian told me this a few weeks ago, I just forgot to tell you about it.
We were out at Walgreen's waiting on one of my prescriptions and he was wandering up and down the aisles.
He comes back with a popcorn machine, and asks me what it is.
So I tell him, it's a popcorn machine silly, did you read the box?
"Why do you need a machine? Don't people have microwaves?"
Yes, but some people like to make it this way.
"Why?"
Because some people just like it that way, some people like the microwave kind, and some people still even use Jiffy Pop.
"What's that?"
Jiffy Pop were these little things full of popcorn kernels, shaped like frying pans almost.
You put them on your stover burner, and sorta shook them back and forth until all the popcorn was popped.
"They didn't have microwaves when you were a kid?"
Well no, not until I was older. I think I was about your age when my mom and dad got our first microwave, and Jiffy Pop is how my mom made the popcorn until then, and I think microwave popcorn was invented a few years later actually.
"Mom, you are sooo old."
Thanks buddy. Love you too.
"No mom, really, you're old."
Really Sebastian, thanks for the reminder.
Turdnugget.
"Old lady."
Fartknocker.
"Old. Lady."
Ok, shut up now before this old lady beats you with her walker.
*He laughs and walks to put the box back on the shelf still calling me old lady.*
Kids are brutal man.

When my son was playing an LP I had I told him to skip to the next track. He did not know how to do that. I didn't believe him. Then I realized, of course he doesn't know what to do. Why would he???!! I felt old then lemme tell ya.

Okay, I know I'm not old but now I FEEL old. Actually, I get that feeling a lot whenever I have to work with kids.
Shesh man, we still have our air popper and we use it too. So much healthier, and if we want we can melt some butter on the little tray on top and pour it over.
Never did like Jiffy Pop, just because I always somehow managed to burn it.
