Generation Gap: Or, "When I feel old"

My Sister: “Since when has there been a new introduction to Play School?” Me: “This has been the introduction for ages” “Well, I haven’t watched for ages. I work, you know” Me, getting huffy: “I work too, you know” “I work away from the TV set” That made me think, well she has a point. If I was going to be reactionary and paranoid, I’d jump up and down and say, “Is that all you think I do? Sit and watch TV all day?” Then I stopped and thought, “Well, I do have the TV on a lot of the time.” That thought depressed me so much I am acutally pleased (relieved)* that non-ratings season TV starts next week. Which depresses me even more. *Three stars to the person who can tell me which Stephen King book I’m emulating here, which I happen to be reading at the moment.
