Kid at work doesn't know what a collect call is.
“Would you like to accept a collect call from HEY MOM CAN YOU COME PICK ME UP”

Bruh I barely do and I'm a 25 year old techy. I'm sorry, you're old.
I'm sorry I'm old, too
I'm 22, no idea what it is
Once upon a time, instead of putting a quarter into a payphone you could dial 1-800-collect (there were many options) and after that call someone else and make them pay for the call instead.
The kids might not know what a “payphone” is either.
I only know it from American movies, because it was never a thing were I live.
Shrek...?
Really?
That's what you mark 2001 by???
What else would they use? Tomb Raider?
How about September 10th, when 2.3 Trillion dollars were announced missing...
... Or what happened the very next day.

That movie crashed box office records and left a giant crater where Disney princess movies used to be. What else that year could be more impactful?
Something else happened in 2001

Nothing as significant as Shrek though
Hey now, you might be an all star, but you gotta get your game on and go play.
I'd rather be a rock star, got any advice for that?
Get paid, my dude
the best advice that I ever got
Was from my sister's rock star boyfriend.
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you're living in a world that you don't understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
For me it is trippy to know that all the little kids I looked after when I was 20 are now 20 themselves.
I did my first babysitting gigs at age 13, in 2002.
I vividly remember playing dolls with my neighbor’s daughter. She just had her first baby about a month ago.
Sometimes I forget how old I am. Then I do something like “going too long without eating,” or “sleeping on the same side for too long” and it’s like my body full-on revolts against me. Sigh.
I feel you. I'm born in '87, but I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.

Wait... Shrek came out 24 years ago? Not five?
Welp, looks like I got more than one foot in the grave.
Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Wow. I remember seeing Shrek with my mom in 2001. I also saw Finding Nemo with her in theaters. I love my mom. I haven't given her any grandchildren though. To her dismay. But she loves me unconditionally. Moms are the best. No one understands love better than them.

there are children being born whose PARENTS were not alive when Shrek (2001) came out.. Crazy how the years start coming and they simply do not stop coming
Wait till our descendants will refer to 90s as ancient times of the Internet.
My 11yo asked me if I was born in "the nineteen's"... Yes child, some of the people from that era are still alive today.

It’s almost as if people grow older with time?
Who would have thought.
It's the speed we perceive it that we're talking about, friendo. It just feels so recent
