    When you realize you've been out of highschool for four years.hollly efff.

    When you see a post like this and think, wow, I was out of high school for 4 years, ten years ago. And then immediately hate the original poster.

    You're driving somewhere at 10pm and see some kids walking and find yourself thinking, "What are they doing? Don't they know it's a school night?"

    I took my son to see The Lone Ranger and was telling him about the original. He asked if it was a movie or on TV when it first aired. I told him it was on radio. He'd never heard of radio shows.

    My 40th is coming up in a couple of years....

    I think the first time I realized I was getting old was when I started channeling my parents... "You call that #*%(& music?" and "Why on earth are you going to take FRENCH? We live within an hour or so of the Mexican border!" (Which was nearly verbatim what my mom said to me when I informed her I was going to take French in HS instead of continuing with Spanish.

    Also, when I'm getting wedding and baby shower invitations from kids I've known since they were infants!

    You have to trim your ear hair as often as your facial hair.

    When I was a callow youth at my first job (I was about 17) I teased the two older chaps I worked with by saying "What's it like hearing the songs you grew up with played as Golden Oldies?". Now, of course, I hear my own teenaged songs (and others, older) played exactly the same way... That one sure came back to bite me.

    I still convert back sometimes from £s and Ps to Old Money... ie 5p used to be a shilling. And I remember how my older brother used to give me and my sister 50 pence a week pocket money, when 50p used to be a lot of money!!

    Seriously - what can you buy NOW with 50 pence? When I was slightly younger than that callow youth, my dad and two brothers complained when petrol went up to 35 pence a GALLON. Now, of course, it's £1.35 a litre... :ohwell:

    Exactly. I don't remember this thread. I don't remember if I've posted in it. But at twelve pages, I should have, right?

    When you've been married almost (not quite, but almost) as long as those young girls have been alive. At least married before they entered school.

    And I'm sure there are some who've got me beat on that.

    ...when some of the people responding to the "you know you're old when" topic are young enough to be your children!
    Or young enough to be your grandchildren! Eeek! :)
