Boomer judgment

At work today I finally found a minute to step aside and read my brother’s texts updating me about my mom’s condition. She’s disabled, chronically ill, and was at the ER. I live three hours away but thankfully my brother still is close by to her in the same city, so he was my point of contact for updates. As I’m doing this an old coworker walks by and goes, “Your generation, so addicted to those phones.” I looked up and said, “My mom is chronically ill and at the ER. My brother is sending me updates.” His demeanor changed SO QUICKLY. Suddenly was all like oh that’s horrible I’m sorry to hear that. Whatever man… don’t be so hasty to judge next time.
