Generation Gap

Amy was going out to eat wings with a friend, and she invited me. Overhearing this, my mom piped in.

Mom: Wings?! I've been craving wings! I want to come!

Amy: You can't come.

Me: Hahaha, I'm only going to go if Mom comes along. We can make it a family thing.

Amy: No.

Mom: What? Why not?

Amy: 'Cause you're old.

Me: So what? Wings are wings. Heck, let's invite Grandma, too!

Mom: Yeah! We'll have three generations going out for wings!

Amy: No, that would only be two generations.

Mom: Huh?

Me: How do you figure that?

Amy: Because you and me are one generation, and Mom and Grandma would be another generation.

Me: You have no idea how generations work, do you?

Amy: Yeah, I do. We're young, and they're old.

Me: So Mom and Grandma are in the same generation, then?

Amy: Yeah, 'cause they both have grey hairs.

Me: So when you get old and get grey hair, you'll be in the same generation as Grandma?

Amy: No, Grandma will be in the dead generation by then.
