Do you ever forget your age?

[Tigger&Belle]

I can never rembember how old I am. Since my husband insists that I am always a year older than I really am. I am 54 but he says no, you are in your 55th year. So, I have to stop and subtract from the current year to be sure of my age.

Maybe your husband wants to sleep on the couch tonight!

I forget my age a lot. But worse than that, I forget my boys' last names. I didn't take my husband's last name when we married, but my boys have his last name. It gets very confusing and sometimes embarassing. At the pediatrician's office, they ask for their full names and I have to stand there staring with a blank look on my face for a minute. They must think I'm an idiot to forget my kids' names!

I have to think about it when asked my age. I stoped having birthdays several years ago.

Yes, in public is not a good time to forget an age or especially a name. I have done that with my last name. Legally I have a hyphenated last name, but when children came along I got called my DH's name more. Usually I'll use his last name personally and my hyphenated name when it matters legally. So for drs visits, Rx's, etc I'll use the longer name, but sometimes those places will put the shorter name into their computer. So when I go to make the appt I try to remember which name they have in their records and if I guess wrong (usually I just give the hyphenated name) I should a little stupid.

I thought about using this strategy, but then I wouldn't get the presents. I can be bought, afterall!

My sisters lie about their ages. They are really 11 and 17 years older than me, but say that they are 46 and 48 (2 and 4 years older than me). I finally had to put my foot down and complain that they were lying about their ages, but made me keep my real age and that I was having nothing to do with that, so now we lie about my age, too, and they get to be even younger. Oh, and we have 2 brothers who are really between me and my sisters in the birth order, but we just pretend that they don't exist in our little fantasy world.

Well, not really, but I do forget how to act like a 14 year old! I act more like a seven year old!

But especially when my birthday comes around I forget that I turned a year older and all my friends would have to remind me that I'm not that age anymore! lol. Just this birthday(that was in October), I thought I was turning 15! How smart am I?

I just recently was asked how old I was and I said 15 no 21 no 26 Which I am 26 I don't know what was wrong with me that day. Lets hope I don't ever look that stupid again!

I always seem to forget my age. I have to subtract the year of my birth from the current year to remember. I am probably one of the older ones here at 56.

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

Tigger&Belle, I just saw this today!

You bring the tofu and I'll bring the sprouts. And we will wear our *leather*!

I'll be there! We were just looking at new vans yesterday and we'll be getting leather interior. The salesman made some comment about all the cows that it took to make leather seats, which I thought was a strange comment. I told him that I was vegetarian and wouldn't be eating those cows, which in turn was a strange comment from me, but I figured I needed some comeback, however lame.

I guess since I don't really care about presents that it doesn't really matter. The only presents that I really care about are those that my DD get/make for me, since she knows that she doesn't have to spend her allowance on me but does anyway.
