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

    Exactly!!!

    1. When some young whippersnapper gives you the senior citizen discount at a store and you know you don't qualify for it based on age.

    2. When you use the word whippersnapper.

    3. When you say something and you look around for your parents and realize it was coming out of your mouth.

    4. The first time you say 'GET OFF MY LAWN".

    I love it! LOL! How about when you say to someone "He seems like a nice kid" only to be told he's 28!

    ^^All 3 happened simultaneously about 5 years ago (I was 35) when part of my wood fence in the back yard fell apart and kids from the subdivision behind me were using my yard for a short cut. Can't say that I blame them as it cut about a quarter-to-half mile off of their walk. Nevertheless, "Get off of my lawn, you young whippersnappers!" <shakes cane>

    • ...somebody mentions that something happened 10 years ago and you automatically default to the 1990s!
    • ...4 of your 5 of your nephews are married and either have kids or are expected their first one this year. (5th nephew is 33 and might either be a lifelong bachelor or get married and have kids in his 50s)
    • ...you have a 2 year old GREAT-GRAND NIECE... and you're only 40!
    • ...you grew up listening to some of the most vile gangsta/hardcore rap on your Walkman and earbuds, but now you wish there was a V-Chip for FM radio!
    • ...you remember when you could only get 3-5 TV channels, had 'rabbit ears' with foil on them, had pliers to change the channels, and TV actually WENT OFF THE AIR for several hours every night! <plays "Star Spangled Banner" then "test tone" and "snow">
    • ...you remember when "Reality TV" came in only 2 forms: "the news" or a documentary/biography.
    • ...the majority of your pop culture references and movie quotes are older than a good portion of your MFP FL!

    You find yourself saying things like "those girls should put some clothes on!!!!" when you see girls wearing way too tiny bikinis.












    Okay. I'm not kidding anyone with that one. I'll never be that old . . .

    You leave the company picnic when they start playing that stupid Call Me Maybe song.

    Explaining to someone that you're about to see an artist you've been dying to see for 32 years. And they don't know who they are. (I'm going to see Adam Ant next week - most of my friends don't know who he was)

    Sleeping in is 7:30am.

    You feel like a cradle robber admiring the hot boys in the gym. :blushing: And then realize the truth of that statement.

    Someone says, "You look good for your age"

    Um..I'm 24. I guess that's "old" to a teenager.

    When this 24 year old who thinks she's old is only 3 years older than my daughter! :sad:

    When you go to antique fairs and find the CorningWare cookware you grew up with sporting price tags of $145/bowl or casserole dish.

    And your mom won't let you have her stuff to sell on Ebay cuz she still uses her "antique" cookware on a regular basis.

    Whoa, seriously?? I need to list my CorningWare!
    Wonder what my original Crock Pot from 1984 would go for? Still works like a charm! I have quite a few wedding presents from that year that I still use.
    They don't make stuff like they used to! (yeah, THAT made me sound old!)lol
