How Gen X Are You? (Take Our Quiz) 

Now that my daughter is in Driver’s Ed, she likes to remind me when I’m not completely following the rules of the road. So much so that the other day I reminded her how long I’ve been driving. You guys, I’ve been driving for over 30 YEARS. How did that happen? (Or when did that happen?) In discussing this with Penn on the podcast, Penn shared that he has started to make noises every time he stands up. 

If you’re Gen X, can you relate? Are you aging alongside us? One thing that doesn’t make us feel super old is remembering the good old days. We got nostalgic recently and played some fun games to remind us of our youth. (Personally, I was reminded that I hate it when I don’t know the answer to something. Especially in a game.) Overall, we had fun so decided to share one of the games here on the blog so you can play along with us!
