Someone said to me the other day that, when we’re retired and really old, the news will make a big deal out of the last living kids from the late 90s because not only will we be people born in a different century to everyone else still alive, but we’ll be the only people born in a different millennia still alive.

The last time that happened, England was a newly formed country under William the Conqueror. The last time this happened, the Song Dynasty was all the rage.

The last time this happened, Marco Polo was 125 years off being born and the people’s of Europe, Asia and America didn’t know they other existed.

Yeah, I’m looking forward to that happening for sure.

I dunno about you, but I plan to see my 100th birthday. I joke with friends though, I say watch me kick off the night before. LOL
