Situation: You’re at a 75th birthday party for your grandmother.
The people: A mixture of people that are old and young.
The talk:
Prety well everyone over 60 at this party: “Ryan, I haven’t seen you since you were this high!” (motions to their knee level)
Ryan: “Oh really.”
Then they walk away and I don’t even know their name because I was so young that I don’t remember.
A message to us all. When you’re going to comment that you haven’t seen a person since they were ‘this’ high’, do them a favour and tell them your full name, and how you are related to said person. It helps. Otherwise, you just have some blogger out there commenting on all the older people he met on the weekend but don’t know who they are.
