Generation Gaps
Megan and I had dinner with my grandparents tonight, followed by a roaring game of Catch Phrase. Overall, it is a fun game; but the trouble comes when you are playing with a 50 year age gap between players. At one point, my grandfather was trying to get Megan to say “Shoeless Joe Jackson,” while I was trying to get my grandfather to say “bumper cars” (he kept saying “bumping”).
It made me think about how much of a “generation gap” I have with students. I am only a handful of years older than them, yet I don’t understand their clothing, music, and fasination with High School Musical, but that is not my job; it is to build relationships with the students and point them toward Christ.
