This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think it's just how boomers were raised. I'm middle-aged and I don't wash chicken, but my boomer mom is horrified at the thought. She came for a visit and made sure I washed the chicken before I cooked with it. ๐Ÿ™„

I had told my mom to go sit down and get out of my kitchen for less.

I've not met a single "boomer" that does this.

So weird, maybe it's just the ones I know. I'm probably stereotyping them!

My parents are boomers and don't do this. Not a big sample, but it's what I've got.
