#35 really resonates. Ellie's son calls her bro sometimes, and he's only 9 years old. Well... it's more like "Bruh". At least he still talks to her. She'll take what she can get.

Right? Also are people still saying “dude”? I feel like bro replaced dude.

The neighborhood dads still say "dude". So what does that tell you?

In my household it seems "bruh" has replaced bro and I really can't stand it but I'll try harder :) and I will keep saying dude, it feels like a Gen X necessity.

My 22-yo son calls me “bruh” from time to time. Luckily he says lots of other, multi-syllabic stuff to me too 😆

I love seeing #32 on the list. We recently visited my grandma and within 30 minutes, she was using my daughter's (new-to-her) updated pronouns. If she can do it, anyone can.

These are ALL great... #28 made me spit coffee through my nose... and #32 because I hit up YouTube to learn how to do all the things tech and mechanical!

I wear my favorite clothes every day. What do I think I’m saving them for?

Number 30 for me, for work....I'm at a place in my life where I can finally chase my lifelong pipe dream of writing. I never thought I'd have the opportunity and now I do, so I'm going for it.
