Do you ever forget your age?

[Tigger&Belle]

I was just watching Survivor with my family and looking at the bios of some of the players. I saw that Gary is 46yo and I commented that he is a little older than my DH and I are. My 6yo son said, "isn't Daddy 46?". My 18yo DD and I looked at each other and said, "no he's 45, isn't he?". Then I told her that I thought that he was 46 and "aren't I turning 45yo next week?" I honestly had to think about my age and got a good laugh that I didn't know. DUH!

So, do you ever forget your age or the age of your SO?

Oh, I do remember the age of my 4 kids!

lol even though I call myself little and even though I am still a child I never forget that I am 6 foot 3 inches tall and 28 years old. O by the way I know the age of all my Cats

 

[SwedishMeatball]

Yes, and the way I figure it out is I have no problem remembering my husband's age, so I just subtract 2 years from that.

Once I got to 40, I don't pay as much attention.

 

[Angelrose]

yep, all the time. I usually ask my husband who is ten years older or my cousin who is ten years younger. THEY always know how old I am.

 

[ClarabelleCowFan]

Yep, I have to mentally subtract the year I was born from the current year. LOL I stopped remembering after I hit 30...

 

[luvmydogs]

I don't, but dh does all the time. He also forgets his middle name.

I forget how old I am sometimes. I forgot my name once too and I was only 24 or 25 at the time.

 

[Dislifer]

I have forgotten my age sometimes too!!! Geez!!! Sometimes I worry myself. Also, once I forgot my alarm code and couldn't deactivate it in time! How embarassing was that!!!!

That sometimes works for me, but my DH is 1 year older than me, except for the months between his birthday and my birthday (like now). And of course I have to remember his age, which I seemed to have a problem with today.

If I'm "figuring out" my age all I have to do is think about the year since I was born in 1960, however, I was born in December so I have to then subtract a year unless I've already had my birthday. And no, I don't round my age up!!!

As I'm reading what I'm writing it really looks like I've been drinking. Really I haven't!

Oh sure, all the time. I can remember how many decades I have under my belt however, and since I was born in 1961, I can figure it out quickly by subtracting 1 from the last 2 digits of the current year and adding 40. I do this pretty much everytime I need to give my age.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I don't, but dh does all the time. He also forgets his middle name.

One time I forgot the middle name of one of my boys. I'd had my then 3mo baby to the dr and the dr wanted him to have a chest x-ray since he suspected pneumonia. I had to fill out the form at the x-ray office and put my older son's middle name on the form. I didn't realize it until I was driving home, turning onto our street. All of a sudden I realized what I'd written. I chalked it up to being a nervous wreck having a sick baby.

I do know the ages of my children and my cats. One of my dogs is not a problem, but I do have to figure out the other dog's age. Hey, not bad since I remember 9 ages, between my 4 kids and 5 out of 6 animals.

This thread reminds me of a joke in my joke file (I do feel that this will be me and my 2 sisters in many years):

Three sisters, ages 92, 94, and 96 live in a house
together. One night the 96 year old draws a bath.
She puts one foot in and pauses. She yells down the
stairs, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?" The
94 year old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up
and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses.
Then, she yells, "Was I going up the stairs or
down?" The 92 year old is sitting at the kitchen
table having tea, listening to her sisters. She
shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get
that forgetful." She knocks on wood for good
measure. She then yells, "I'll come up and help
both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."

Were you and my dh separated at birth? He's already called me from our tax guy's office because he couldn't remember ds's birthday for the forms. We only have one child--it's not like he has to remember a gaggle of children!

From now on, I'm calling you DSIL.

DH won't let me forget my age since I am 6 months older than him.

At least when I show up at your house for the next family meal I can eat since you're vegetarian!

That's what you get for marrying a young stud!

 

[Pop Daddy]
