Do you ever forget how old you are?

Anonymous
I have to pause and think about it but I haven't forgotten yet.

I'm 47. I think.

I always UNDERestimate my age.
I don't feel half as mature, poised and wise as I expect someone my age should be! Plus I still apparently look really young, as countless people tell me when they learn I have a middle schooler.

I'm also 47 but in a few months, 48 so mentally I think I've gone to 48 so its less of a horrific shock when it happens.

I never know my age.

I was 22 for awhile then 25, 28, 30, 32, 36, 40 ... I am 48 now but I have been saying 48 since I turned 46.

I'm dyslexic, btw.

I stick to numbers I like, generally even ones. Or ones that end in 0 or 5.

Yes. After 40. I think it is partial denial.

Fortunately, for the sake of remembering, whatever the year ends in, my age ends in the same number for most of the year. So for most of 2016, I was xxty-6. (But I just turned xxty-7, so my system doesn't quite work in the fall.)

I know exactly how old I am.

I have turned 29 for each of my past 16 birthdays

I haven't (yet!!), but have seen other people draw a blank when I asked them.

Usually older folks.

Constantly. I have to think of the current date, then calculate. I'm 30. 2. And a half.

Yes. It happens. I don't know how it happens, but it happens. I'm 37 or 38.
