Generations

Ron frequently refers to events from his childhood. It occurred to me that I never do because of the two generations of people I got to know between my childhood and now.

So, when I think about sunscreen, I remember James demanding to know “What are you doing to Emme’s (y)egs” whereas Ron talks about getting lubricated as a child.

This is very odd to me, like he had amnesia for sixty-some odd years. Even though he met Peter a long time ago, he still doesn’t relate to memories even between now and then.

Seems to me he missed out on a lot for the freedom to sleep on other people’s floors and other indignities, but that were his choices and whether or not he regrets them is his business, not mine.
