Things that you make you feel old

[meaty]

Knowing it has been 12 years since I was in year 7

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

The mirror.

 

[rastahomie]

The sounds my knees, ankles and toes make when I stand up or sit down.
The fact that I can't drink a cup of coffee without having to run to the nearest bathroom ten minutes later (TMI, sorry )
When teenagers refer to music that I listened to in high school as "oldies."
When the radio DJ refers to music that I listened to in high school as "oldies."
The fact that my medicine cabinet includes a fiber supplement, Gold Bond foot powder, and Icy Hot.

So, doing the math, you're in your mid-twenties? Old??
Haha, get back to me in twenty years or so, then we'll talk!

 

[PollyannaMom]

When I need a nap after work.

My son starting high school in the fall at the same school where I graduated 25 years ago this month.

My car is kind of old. It has manual handle/roll down windows. My niece and nephew didn't know what they were, and I had to show them how to use them. They had never seen anything but automatic windows/buttons. I just think back to when the electric windows started popping up everywhere, and realize that it many years ago. lol

Sorry, but I laughed out loud at this.

 

[fly girl]

When I open People or US Weekly I don't know half of the stars they are talking about.


That some friends around my age are going to be grandparents. (I have an 8 year old it boggles my mind)


When I'm called ma'am.

 

[Snap Crackle Pop]

When people don't remember having to look through the newspaper or having to call the movie theater to get movie times.

 

[Wishing on a star]

Lately... EVERYTHING!!!!

 

[teacherlisa1978]

When I don't get carded. I'm 37 and it's only this year that I'm not regularly asked for my ID anymore.

 

[kimblebee]

That I graduated 22 years ago

 

[indimom]

That I've celebrated 20 years of marriage (last year), and that my firstborn will be 19 this year. That I'm starting to go to more and more funerals each year, and realizing that DH and I may soon be the oldest part of our family tree.

One Bonus to being (and looking) older... I finished nursing school only 1 year ago. I have yet to be seriously questioned by a patient. While younger nurses (with years more experience than I), get questioned fairly regularly....

My 10 year high school reunion is today (I live across the country and will not be there).

 

[tvguy]

I started feeling old when I realized I was older than most of my co-workers.

I finally concluded that I AM old when I realized I am older than the PARENTS of most of my co-workers.

 

[disneychrista]

My body.

 

[E&Cmom]

Lots of things. Lol

My first born is about to start high school.
Next year will be 30 years since I finished high school.

Hearing how long ago certain events took place or when certain songs or movies came out.

When I don't get carded. I'm 37 and it's only this year that I'm not regularly asked for my ID anymore.

To add to this...
When at the gas station and the little sign says "if you were born after this date you can't purchase alcohol." I think, holy crap, I graduated HS before that date!
