You know you are old when the pillars of your education get pulled asunder.
First it was Pluto being demoted from planet status and now "modern" science has taken aim at the dinosaurs. We took the kids to a Dinosaurs Uncovered exhibit today and much to my amazement I have now learned that dinosaurs had feathers and/or hair. WHAT!!!!!! When the hell did dinosaurs grow feathers?? My dinosaur education (admittedly most of it from the Jurassic Park movies) has been based on lizard looking dinosaurs with leathery skin, not bright plumes of feathers sticking out from atop a head of menacing teeth. What else am I going to learn when the kids start real school?? That the Earth is actually not round. That Pi is not actually 3.14.
Getting old sucks.
