As my time in Canada was now drawing to a close, my advisor invited our research group over to his house for a BBQ. Among the guests was a Japanese friend of mine who brought along his three year old son. Feeling this was the perfect victim on which to try out my very basic-level Japanese language skills, I approached him holding my advisor's kitten.

This is a small cat. It's cute, isn't it?
"かわいくないです。”
It's not cute.
"....."
Where does one even go from there?

It is just the beginning of our being usurped by the younger generation. It starts by them making us feel doubt and stupidity. And goes from there ;)
