It's Official...I'm Old

I spent Saturday night playing PlayStation2 with my goddaughters who are 13 and 11.
It didn't take long for me to realize that I've become like my parents were when I was their age.
I would shake my head and wonder why adults are so dumb when they would ask me to program the VCR for the 100th time after the electricity went out or it somehow came unplugged.

The girls looked at me with something like pity in their eyes when I voiced my confusion over all the buttons and sticks on the controller. They tried to tell me things like, "Click the 'X' for enter, use the right analog to control your man, hit L1 to use your artillery..." I stared at them with a glazed expression, practically drooling on myself.
What happened to those controllers that had a joystick and one red button?

As we played the game, my ineptness apparently wore down their patience and Megan kept saying, "Man Aunt De! We're only playing on the BEGINNER level!"

Dear Father Time,

Screw you!

Sincerely,

The Old Crone
