Is this rude?

[jxp]

Lol please tell me I'm not the only one that didn't realize that....

You're blowing my mind that you didn't. Unless you never ever saw a single reference . I've not seen but bits and pieces of the movie (not my genre) and even I.... Never mind. Bless.

I do, well did, he's 23 now.

And you've never been cajoled into watching the same movie 300 times? No? Nothing like Avatar? None of the Marvel movies? Guardians of the Galaxy? Nothing? Hmmm.

Once upon a time I was seven years old...

Even then I thought to myself "this ain't gonna last through adolescence" and I was right.

So you're calling yourself a liar?

I honestly never made the association. Maybe it's because I watched the matrix way back when it came out and haven't thought much about it since then

He'd didn't like watching movies with me because I'd always figure out the plot twist before him (still annoys him, lol) Now he watches a movie before he suggests I watch it so I don't 'ruin it' for him.

Yeah I did literally say that a minute ago. In that particular case it's the same as "Hi! How are you?" "Good! How are you?" "I'm good, thank you!" "That's good!" Yk the usual nonsense polite things to say, nobody's actually good and BFFs are rarely legitimate.

Mmmmmmm I think with enough mind numbing in many parts of the world during any time period you could find similar or worse examples of "the kids". Not saying today's youth are good though, I agree that there's a lot of problems.

Finding an example of certain behaviors is one thing. Watching as that awfulness is shrugged off it even celebrated by so many their peers is quite another.

Ok. We all have lapses in our synapses sometimes. No big.

Honorifics are kind of a big deal in the south but I think it’s generational. I was raised in the west so I don’t ma’am and sir but I also don’t let my kids call older people by their first names because my husband is from the south and he is right about that. Kids calling adults by their first names is…weird. I imagine they don’t think you’re being rude but too familiar in a way. I haven’t gotten any flak for it yet so maybe I’m too old for that haha

As a catechism teacher, all the students and all children/youth would address me as Mrs. Once a 4th grader called me by my first name, I nicely corrected her, it's Mrs. She said, My mom calls you Kimberly. I told her that her mother is an adult and when she could afford to live outside her parents home, pay for her own things, then she could call me by my first name.

20+ years later, many still call me Mrs and smile.
