Comments: Feeling my age

Stylist: "...You get the picture of what we're looking for, a young, conservative, preppy teenager...think Michael J. Fox... Family Ties years."
Teen: Michael J. Fox?
Stylist: Yeah.
Teen: (pause) I'm sorry...I don't know who that is.
Me: You might know him from a show called Spin City...he played the Mayor's assistant I think, or (to stylist) press agent?
Stylist: I think he was his press secretary.
Teen: Never saw it.
(The producer comes around the corner)
Producer: He was his press secretary. But he left the show, you know, because of his Parkinson's...who replaced him? A Baldwin? No...
Stylist: Charlie Sheen.
Producer: Ah yes, Charlie Sheen.
Teen: I don't know who he is either.
Producer: It doesn't matter. Just think "Young Republican".
Teen: Charlie Sheen?
Me: (laughing) ...don't think so.
Producer: No... Michael Fox.
Teen: ...is a Young Republican?
Me: Well he played one... on Family Ties.
Teen: That show was on before I was born.
All Adults: (pause, doing math)...oh...right.
Teen: Do you guys just want me to wear a tie, or what?
