A co-worker said to me, with a dismissive hand shake, “You probably don’t remember, but… did you know who Johnny Carson was?”

I was too stunned to say anything other than, “Did you just ask me if I’ve ever heard of Johnny Carson?”

And she said, “I mean, I know you know he died. But aren’t you too young to have ever seen him on television?”

My co-worker thinks I’m thirteen!
