Be honest now, how many of you all sound like your parents when you were a kid? (self.genx)

As I've gotten older, I find myself doing the old ughs and groan while getting off the couch or say things to my kids that my parents told me. I also truly appreciate the coveted chair or spot on the couch which is "Dad's Spot!"

I absolutely say things how my father and my mother would say them. Not all the time of course, but I definitely hear it when I do.

My dad is a mean old guy, and I catch myself saying things the same exact way when I don't like something. At work when I'm in "manager boss mode" I channel my mother full stop.
