    Elder millennial here.

    “When life promises you lemons as a child and drills into your head the importance of preparing to make lemonade because the lemons are coming and you’ve got be ready and get the sugar and the water and the ice ready because you’re totally gunna get those lemons and have a lemonade-based future of stability and fulfillment and happiness, prepare to be blamed when the lemons don’t arrive.”

      Makes me cry. The good luck I’ve had in my life should mean I could retire early. The bad luck I’ve had in my life means I still have no retirement fund. But at least I haven’t gone through foreclosures like a lot of people my generation have.

    Lemon boy but they see why I reside now

    Put the time in while you always yellin’ time out

    F a critic ‘cause I know I’m comin’ with it

    You were sittin’ you were wishin’, I was handlin’ my business

    Now I got the ball like Harry Potter playin’ Quidditch

    And my nuts so humongous you would think that Hagrid’s in it

    Ah man, I’m all bad, yeah I’m all bad

    Workin’ for that whip, yeah that whatchu call that

    I’ma blow up in the summer have ‘em yellin’ fall back

    And I’ve always been ahead like an effin ball cap

    Man I came in the game like woah

    Gotta couple chains on me 'cause I like gold

    They told me I’m the best, and I told 'em, I know

    'Cause when I’m in your town every ticket I sold

        Fish and chips without at least one decent lemon wedge should be illegal

    The Silent Generation: "When life hands you lemons… Don’t Take the Lemons! GET MAD! Demand life take the lemons back! Ask to see life’s manager! Do you know who I am? I’M THE MAN WHOSE GONNA BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN. WITH THE LEMONS.

    I’ve tasked the boys down in the lab to assemble some incendiary lemon grenades."

    Meanwhile the boomers built a Lemon Trust Score that says you need to start squeezing lemons from day one to be trusted to make lemonade, so the lemon bank will give you a lemon loaf that takes 30 years to pay back with twice as much juice as any lemon can make. All while the news tells us that outsiders who never had a lemon in their life want to take our juice, but really it’s juice lord propaganda against any new juicers.

    We are drowning in lemons and can’t make lemonade without giving it all away, leaving us with all the labor and none of the juice.

    I’m gonna have to say it? Lemons are crossbred between a citron and a sour orange. Life never gave us lemons. We made that shit ourselves.
