What was your "oh snap, I'm old now" moment?

I live and breathe my friend. I live and breathe.

If this reference made you chuckle, then we’re both old.

I fell off the step in orange theory and did not just stumble but totally fell like TIMBERRRR straight to the floor without catching myself in any way. To add insult to injury the 24 year old instructor ran over to say Ma’am, Ma’am, are you ok Ma’am, and then proceeded to escort my hobbled old ass out of the classroom while the whole class paused.

Dead. Totally dead. I had to quit.

All of the print on all of the menus at all of the restaurants have apparently gotten much, much smaller. Also, for some reason, people in crowded restaurants and at parties have collectively decided to mumble.

It’s really weird.

A high school friend posted a photo of her kind, elderly mother. Then I looked closer and it was my friend and not her mother.

Two people I grew up with are now grandparents. We’re only in our 40s but that ish makes you realize the years are coming hard and fast.

People started saying “welcome in” and I realized I’m just never, ever going to accept it.

I can’t spin my kid in circles without wanting to die from dizziness. It was my favorite thing to do as a kid too.
