I was speaking to someone at a party and for some reasons the topic of 9/11 came up and they mentioned they weren't born when it happened so I just stopped talking to them.

I've got a really personal connection to 9/11 so the memories surrounding it are really vivid for me. Was talking to a buddy the other day about it and he started laughing and I asked why. He said "You were playing with a pocket knife and I was shitting in my diapers." It was at that moment I remembered he was born in 2000. My joints immediately were filled with sand.
