2. “Would My Mother Have Done This?”
Another common thought these days is that our generation is too adventurous. We wonder where the difference lies between “youthful experience” and “sordid, amoral lifestyle”. Nothing like sitting in a Porta Potty in a music festival, your dilated pupils pointing sternly in two different directions, to make you think that maybe there’s a reason you’re told not to do what you’re doing. So the question is: “Would my mother have done this?” We belong to a long tradition of generations who assume the previous generation was of a stronger moral fiber. But going down is such honest, harmless, flirty fun that the answer is probably: “Oh, heavens yes.”
