They keep sending our 13-year-old son promos for different insurance and investment programs. You're never too young to join, I guess!

When you can't be bothered to figure out Twitter or Tumblr, and your kids think they're lame anyway.

When you tell your kids that when you were growing up you only had 4 channels on TV and there was no such thing as cable! Also that Pong was the first video game and we were blown away by it!!!

You get called "mam" by someone who looks close to your own age or when someone offers a seat on the bus ( even after you've run a mad dash to catch it)...or you talk about some old tv show like Leave it to Beaver re-runs and people look at you like you're from Mars (or the old folks home!)

When you are old enough to be the mother of some of the people you work with.

Friends start dying of things other than accidents.

Everyother person you used to know back in the day has become an alcoholic because by a certain age life has dealt so many blows and drinking is the only way some people know how to handle it.

Film and reruns of shows/news clips from my twenties are so faded and old looking its shocking.

Led Zeppelin is as old as Vaudeville was when Led was new.

P.S. I will be 50 this year and this is all dawning on me. Jeez.

I would LOVE this. My friends and I are pre-empting whatever plans our husbands have in mind next year and planning a brunch or something well in advance. No expensive babysitter and adequate sleep!
