This is depressing in its truth. How many times do younger people walk over and past the older generation, assuming they are all crotchety and slow and even useless. Now I don’t want to grow up.

Thank you. I based the above on my observations of relationships between elderly parents and their offspring (including in my own family). It troubled me that so many would treat their elders that way, so I decided to write about how it would feel on the receiving end.
