Today's Fifth Grader

Okay, wow. So I was on Instagram, and my friend posted a picture of a cousin quote. She tagged her cousin. She's talked about her cousins a lot to me, so I'm like, "hmm, maybe I'll recognize them."

One of the cousins, and I kid you not, is a fifth grader. On Instagram.

This really just kills my vibe ok. When I was in 5th grade, I was just setting Nick Jonas pictures on my school desktop and I was just starting to use YouTube. I got my first iPod Touch second gen at the end of that year. All I used it was for music. My big obsession when I was in fifth grade was Webkinz.

I still play that, shh.

It's so dumb now that 5th graders have instagrams. I didn't have an Instagram until I was in high school. But now, instead of playing Webkinz, kids are making INSTAGRAMS and doing stuff that I did in middle school. (The fifth grade girl had a picture of her going to a skating party. That was a big thing everyone did in middle school.)

My kids are probably going to have Instagram (or whatever the big social service is) by 3rd grade. It's sad ok.

If you're reading this and aren't a child, you go, Glen Coco. :(
