13. My middle daughter (19 now) has known classic rock better than ME for at least five years.

I gave her my "Death Before Disco" T-shirt that I bought in like '78. She wore it when she "shadowed" the DJ from our local classic rock station in 11th grade (standard project for that grade) and he let her on the air, including the sign off for his show at midnight. That was cool to hear. I wish I'd been recording it, but I had no idea it was coming up.
