mousmeSo early on Saturday morning I turned to Hottie!Coworker who was working night shift with me and said "Hey, it's officially D-Day. It's been 65 years, after all.
Her reaction?
"What's D-Day?"
I just about fell over. Even when I explained about the Normandy Landings she shrugged it off with a laugh and said she doesn't know anything about that sort of thing. She's 33 years old, so it's not an age thing.
I'm... honestly shocked. Yes, it's history, but it's still in living memory. How is it that so many of my generation are so ignorant?
