Generations

Walking into the bathroom one day, having arranged and sprayed her hair into a huge "bubble" - a style of the times - Diane Ackerman was met by her father who asked, "What have you down to your hair?"
"I've just teased it," she replied.
To which he replied, "Teased?  You've driven it insane!"
 -Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses

Be comforted that every generation goes through the same growing pains.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
