You know you're old when...(part 2)

I was sitting in 8th grade Health class last Friday and we were talking about mental health. The teacher was describing depression and stress to the students. I was thinking that I could teach that unit when all of a sudden the topic changed. On the power point the teacher had given a written stress and she had a clip art of a man freaking out over his computer and Y2K. One student raised their hand and asked, "What is Y2K?" The teacher stopped for a moment and said, "That's right you would have been 3 or 4 at the time." She then went on to explain how people reacted at the end of 1999. I just sat there because it seemed like just yesterday and these kids didn't even remember it. One finally said they thought it sounded sort of familiar.
