young whippersnappers

when the clerk
asks
if you want the senior
discount
on your groceries,
and asks
if you need help with
your bags
in getting to your car,
or when a young
man holds
the door for you and calls
you sir,
you want to scream,
i'm not ready for this,
not yet, go play in
your sandbox, 
and i'll let you
know when i'm old.
