The Pancake Generation

Six years ago I received an email from my mother. The subject of the email was " Growing up w/out a CELL PHONE ". The gist of the email was that my generation - Gen Y, the pancake generation, the most awesome generation ever, the culmination of all mankind has achieved so far - has it too easy. It detailed various things that gen X didn't have that we do. I have spent the past several minutes (the things I do for my readers...) digging through my emails to find this piece of literary glory to share with you. If you are 30, or older, you might think this is hilarious!  When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious  diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what  with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways. yadda, yadda, yadda  And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in  hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids
