Generation Double-Gap

While relaxing (actually stuffing my face) at dinner tonight, Daughter and I started comparing notes about all sorts of things. I am 40 years older than Daughter (really only 39 years, 11 months and 8 days older – but who’s counting?), so there are two generation gaps between us. Interesting comparison, especially favorite decade. Daughter is living my life in the 60′s, down to tie-dyed underwear.
