How do you not want to kill yourself with ageing parents?
>son, this is how you do X, and you must do it for Y, you must remember this
>I won't, I've never done Y and I never will, so I will forget X, that's not how remembering works
>you must remember, you have to remember, you will do Y, why are you so disobedient? This is extremely important. I was told only once and I always remembered, you younguns are stupid
>when were you told?
>last week when I bought it because I had to do Y for the first time in my life
The mystique of ye olde learned elders having a wealth of knowledge of how to do things in the old days is laid bare as fake as anything as soon as they let loose that they literally have never done their latest mentioned ritual until just now. If the state pension collapsed tomorrow I'd wonder how any of them would survive.
