All of the items listed below are younger than I am, so, I feel blessed to have had all of these in my life.

· The Karate Kid is now older than Mr. Miyagi.
o Ralph Macchio, who played Daniel LaRusso in The Karate Kid, was supposed to be a teen in the 1984 movie. But he was actually 22. Today, Macchio is all grown up—so much, in fact, that he's now older than Mr. Miyagi was at the time. Pat Morita, who played Miyagi, was a mere 52 years old back then, while Macchio is currently 57.
· Kids graduating high school in 2019 were born in the 2000s.
· Today's kids have always been able to communicate with emojis.
o From emails and texts to social media posts, emojis have become a common part of how we communicate since they launched in 1999. According to the official Unicode list, there are now nearly 2,800 different emojis in use today. And though people of all ages use emojis, some of us remember a time when inserting a smiley face into a text message was a colon and a half parenthesis. But kids born in the 21st century have always had emojis. Try explaining to a teenager how 20th-century teens communicated almost solely with words, and they'll look at you like you're nuts.

I must admit, Royce, that I also missed out on my Boy Scouts map folding badge. 😳

Ken, I can follow a map and a compass, to get from point A to point B, but I never learned the secret of folding the map back to it's original size.
