Watching Hey Arnold

I find it funny how these scenarios are so relatable to people my age. The "kids" in Hey Arnold don't really even seem like kids at all. Adults are boomers, the kids are millennials, and the 5th and 6th graders are gen X. It all starts to make sense when you look at it that way.
