Adults: “The food was just okay. Too greasy. They should have gone to (insert name of their favorite Indian restaurant, which probably tastes as disappointing when catered).”

Teens; College students: “That DJ sucked. He didn’t play enough (hip-hop/Hindi/bhangra/Gwen Stefani).”

Bitter singles: “The whole thing was way too (long/gaudy/extravagant). She’s totally going to cheat on him. I’m done with going to weddings.” Still goes to distant cousin’s wedding the following week.

This must be the first time the complaint is –

“Elton John had a better seat than me, the parent.”

For that, we should be grateful.
