Now that you mention it, yeah. Thinking about it, "cool" is the only word I know that has made it through a few generations.

I know exactly what you mean about irritating them. It's weird how things change with their ages. I give my 6 year old daughter a high five, my 9 year old son knocks knuckles with me, my 13 year old girl rolls her eyes at me if I try to do either, and my 16 year old son does this combo of pounding fists, knocking knuckles and a half handshake sliding your hand back quickly. I guess I am doing ok. 3 out of 4 of my kids think I'm cool. lol

Hahaha! That is hilarious! We should consider ourselves lucky though. I heard a skater guy the other day, and I couldn't make out a thing he said. I can live with a few colloqialisms. lol.

Oh I know. There are some kids that I can't understand a word they say...and I just smile and nod. lol I mean, I don't want to give them the impression that I'm not "hip" or, heaven forbid, embarrass one of my kids by not being "cool".
