Recently I found myself enjoying the company of a friendly group of millennials relaxing together outdoors on a late summer afternoon. In the middle of our light conversation a duo of iridescent dragonflies made a sudden 
appearance. The brilliant green and electric blue colors were dazzling in the afternoon sunlight. For a few seconds no one said a word. Then, before I could catch myself, I simply uttered out loud, “Look, snake doctors….”
It even surprised me. I hadn’t said the two words “snake doctor” together in as sentence since my childhood. The young people who heard me glanced at one another telegraphing giant question marks by their facial expressions. All I could say was, “Oh, sorry, that’s what I called dragonflies when I was a child.” Of course, a millennial had to ask the inevitable question, “Why?”
