I feel so old...

[moonlettuce]

At work today, a member of my team mentioned that she has three turtles and is considering getting a fourth one, and said that she was thinking about naming it Hercules.

Cue me going, "But, four turtles? Didn't you at any point think: Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael and Donatello?"

Cue her looking at me with a blank face.

Cue another member of my team asking if she knew who the Ninja Turtles were, and her response was "Nooooooo..."

Like I said, I feel so old.

Bah.

Don't feel bad. My husband's older than me and actually remembers Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the movie coming out in 1990, and even he was clueless when we sat down to watch tv, not knowing what was coming up next, and I called the movie before the voiceover finished three words. He didn't get it, even with me telling him, until he heard 'This is April O'Neal'.

So we're both 90's geeks, whatevs whatevs.

If you have four turtles and have never even considered naming them after the turtles, I feel your license to exist on this planet should be revoked.

What? WHAT?

Oh, God. My heart...it shatters.

But is this a person that would have a clue about current day fan things, or is she just clueless in general? Maybe it's just her?
