Sneakers, Shake Shack, and Parenting: A Generation X Victory

Quick story about my first born child. I took them shopping for sneakers yesterday for back to school. They chose all black Air Force One. So proud of them. And then they say, can we go get some shake shack after this? Okay, fine. We get to shake shack, and they get some French fries. Now I’m like, I bought you sneakers, I got you French fries. You can hold it. I’m not your Butler holding all your stuff. Not anymore. So we’re coming out of Shake Shack, they’re holding the sneakers bag. They’re holding the bag that the Shake Shack came in. They’re holding the little tray of fries. You know how teenagers sometimes do? There’s, like, a kind of juggling act with all these things in their hand, and they’re not like. And I look at them and I say, yo, you need to get it together. And then I said it. Just put the fries in the bag. I lived the meme. It was a victory for Generation X.
