My Lolo (Dad's dad) was born in 1917. He constructed our vacation house in the province to have a secret hide out, he said in case there is a war, our family could hide there. I am not sure if he was serious about it! I loved that house. I am not kidding that the entrance to this hide out was through a bookshelf (you can push it to open) My Lolo also had spotlights all over the property. He was a really cool lolo :happy:
BTT: I think kids are smarter now. I'm not sure about the EQ though. It's like we are breeding a generation of narcissists. And BTW I believe in spanking. I was spanked by my Dad as a kid and my Dad is still and will always be the number 1 man in my life. I even think he did the right thing spanking me hehehe

My dad refused to buy anything Japanese until very late in his life. So, he probably experienced something very traumatic. None of my uncles or aunts talked about it.
My mom lived through the war as well. But, she, grandma, and all my aunts (on my mom's side) were consistent in saying the Japanese navy personnel (at Cavite) were more disciplined and well-behaved than their army counterparts elsewhere in the area. I often wondered if these were the same navy personnel who put up the fanatical resistance in Manila during their retreat.

The generational war continues! Defiant millennials blast Gen Z for insisting older people must give up skinny jeans, laughing emoji, and wearing their hair in a side part because they are no longer 'cool' | Daily Mail

Millennials are hitting back at Gen Zers who are mocking them for wearing skinny jeans, rocking side parts, and using laughing emoji, superiorly pointing out that the younger generation used to eat laundry detergent pods for fun.
The generational war between the two groups continues to rage on TikTok, with Gen Z fueling the fire with their recent condemnation of the skinny jeans beloved by millennials.
