When they remake those movies and TV shows that were released when you were a kid or teen.

Almost half the songs today either are a remakes or sample songs from my prime.
also let’s not forget -getting up from kneeling to standing.,.. someone help! Or I think twice if I really need to get to floor level

Every time I go to the doctor for a routine check up they find yet something else that is wrong. Can't I just have one year where I get a clean bill of health. Or I guess nothing NEW to have to deal with.

Being asked by my kids, "Mama, what's a pager?" and "Mama, what's a land line?"

it get's worse when they are remaking shows that were on when your adult children were kids.

When my daughter refers to things from (my youth in) the late 1900s...that sounds like olden times.
when I realize I am WAY older now that all the parents/grownup in the teen movies/shows I watched in the 80s....
AND when I was shopping for a new van, and the salesperson asked how many grandchildren I had....umm, NONE yet....

I get this. My daughter is 17 and we are dealing with lots of struggles growing up/launching into adulthood. Lots of conflict that wasn’t there 18 months ago. It makes me feel so old. I feel as though I’m aging exponentially and I can see it in my face, and I feel it in the immense fatigue I experience. It’s a tough time.

The first time I felt old was when I went to a sports bar with younger co-workers to watch a NY Mets playoff game. i mentioned to them that I had been to Shea Stadium one time but that it was for a Jets game and not for the Mets. They all looked at me crazy and asked “the Jets used to play at Shea?”

It was my “Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?“ moment.

Knowing Captain Kirk is 90.

I’m not a Star Trek fan
I’m not a William Shatner fan.
I am a fan of how great he looks for 90 - absolutely fantastic!

I forgot where I was, had to give me name, maybe a dining reservation? Well, gave my name and the person said, "was that a popular name back in the day?"

When a friend of the family said he was born the same year I graduated from high school.

"Kids" started working with me who's parents were in elementary school when I started working here.

Being asked by my kids, "Mama, what's a pager?" and "Mama, what's a land line?"

We were In the resale shop and there was a typewriter. My kids could not understand the need after they found out what it did.
Really should have seen the confusion of a rotary phone....
