I swear, I only just figured out how to properly season a cast iron pan, and now my niece is explaining some newfangled air fryer technique to me like I'm a dinosaur. I remember thinking MY generation had all the answers, that my grandma's pressure cooker was some medieval torture device...now I'm the grandma, aren't I? I wonder if the confidence ever really existed, or if it was just the obliviousness of youth. I still remember the shock of realizing my parents weren't these all-knowing beings, and now I bet my own kids think I'm clueless about everything from TikTok to taxes--funny how the tables turn, and you're suddenly the one who's behind the curve, desperately trying to catch up before the world leaves you in the dust. It feels like I JUST learned how to use the internet.
