Taco is very fond of the participation trophies he’s been getting.
And people were saying it was all the Gen Y kids that were getting the participation trophies. Turns out that Taco, who barely missed being in the Silent Generation (but is a boomer), is a huge fan of them.
Yeah, I never understood why people were always getting so butthurt about the notion. To be honest, as Gen X here, I remember getting one handed to me (and everyone else that competed) for “track and field day” in elementary school. I didn’t value those and none of my peers did, either. And neither did Gen Y, I bet. I did value the 1st and 2nd places and so on that I got for the actual events I competed in and placed in.
I even heard instances of some Gen Y kids keeping their own game scores so they’d know who won when they were playing games where the adults were NOT keeping score for whatever reasons the adults had.
Anyway: no kid gives trophies to themselves; it’s the adults that are choosing those, buying those and giving them out…

Guess who decided Gen Y needed participation trophies.
