Dear Gentle Generation Gen X,

Thank you for being born. As someone just coming into fertility in the 1970s, you could all be mine — and I claim you as a group of people to love. But…I will not let you play Oregon Trail or Spellmaster on the computer. Go outside and play for awhile instead. In fact, I have some gardening you can do. I’ll give you an allowance.

Love,

A Boomer Mama Who Thinks She Is Funny — but she’s not.
