Signs You Are Getting Old-Please Add to List

[Anonymous]

I haven't really had a drink since July 2008 because I've been pregnant or breastfeeding (or both) and I don't really miss it at all.

I'm 45 and I know I'm getting older because:

1) I have aches and pains in my side, my teeth - weird places that never, ever hurt before.

2) I am totally out of touch with contemporary culture. Music, movies, personalities, you name it.

3) I can't believe how young a 30 year old looks to me.

4) I will need reading glasses very soon.

5) A late night to me is midnight now.

PP here, forgot to add the most obvious sign: when I talk to my kids, my mother's voice comes out of my mouth.

But I just turned 26 yesterday... Am I old now?



I do have sex daily though.

I am grossed out but intrigued by this. Like I would be by zoo animals.

ah yes, I'm flummoxed by how worked up DCUMers can get by the slightest twinge of a possible insult....

I'm 38 and had to dash out to CVS one Saturday night to pick up more milk. On the way, I saw all these 20-something women out in cute dresses and heels and thought, "Huh. Where are they all going?"

Funny how that phase seems so long ago, even though it wasn't really!

My most exciting purchase recently was callus cream and I look forward to slathering it on each night before bed.

I'm 31 and hearing music I listened to in high school on the classic rock station. Since when is Nirvana or Pearl Jam classic rock?!

--I still ask my husband to "tape" baseball games

--My best friend and I made a Sanford and Son joke in front of her 16-year-old stepdaughter, who stared at us blankly

--My husband and I each have a t-shirt that is older than my child's kindergarten teacher

Hilarious!!

and your lunchbox is quite vintage

I thought this was funny, not insulting. I too am intrigued by people that have sex every day. I just can't fathom it. Not saying it is bad, just that I can't even work up the energy to want it anymore!

A healthy 26 year old should still be pretty horny.

I feel like I've scored big when I can catch an eight car train to Shady Grove from Metro Center.

Things that make me feel old...

1) The music that was played when I went clubbing in the 80s is now played at the Harris Teeter. There's something really strange about grocery shopping to "Lips like Sugar"

2) I hate facebook and I'm not on it

3) Who the #$%^ is Justin Bieber!

4) My cell phone doesn't do anything but transmit phone calls

5) The movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" was made 24 years ago

Sigh

I think being called a Soccer Mom is a compliment.

The best weekend possible is one that includes NO plans.

I'm becoming fiscally conservative.

My criteria for picking a restaurant is that it isn't too loud.

Right. But I am not 26. Much like I am not the zoo animals that I am intrigued by. Hence the point. Why is this an issue?

Wow. Just wait to someone does a remake of Ferris Bueller. Then we will feel ancient.
