My oldness has been confirmed

[kdonnel]

I was running in the neighborhood this past weekend.

As I approached a cul d sac I saw some kids playing. They were having a nerf war.

The kid closest to me yelled out to the others to stop shooting, an old man was coming.

I'm not sure if I should be hurt or be happy the kids were respecting the elderly.

Time to buy your own Nerf artillery to take with you on your next run!!

Fortunately I live in a retirement civilization, so no recognition or the person behind you would be offended

Its happened to me. I can remember thinking "who the hell they calling old?" and then I realized I was the only one around. I do remember growing up thinking all my grammar school teachers had to be ancient. Most were late 20's or early 30's at the time.

If it makes you feel any better, my elementary school aged neighbor asked me if I've ever met a dinosaur before because I was born in a year that starts with 19

i felt ancient when I handwrote my name and phone number for an in-store order question and the 20 something who I handed it to remarked 'WOW-you have beautiful FONT'.
