    I had to call my 13 year old when he was at a friend's house to ask how to get the box to turn back to movies instead of games. That made me feel slightly old and stupid. :blushing:

    Not much, because I'm not old. But there are a couple...

    1. hearing Pearl Jam on the Classic Rock station
    2. being invited to the college graduations/weddings of people I cared for as infants
    3. I work at a college, and a coworker recently did an informal poll of students and not a single one had ever seen My So-Called Life

    I remember hearing about cell phones for the first time. I was about 5 and my babysitter told us about these really cool walkie talkies for grown ups that can work over long distance.

    The fact that this year my husband and I will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.
    And that I've known him for 26 years.
    Where did the time go?!

    The year I graduated high school (1995), I knew some children who hadn't even started school yet or who were just finishing kindergarten. They have now graduated college, are married, and have children of their own!

    Also, I was talking to a HS friend of mine on Facebook and I said, "Derek, you do realize that you and I are the same age our parents were when we met (mid to late thirties)?" There was a long pause and he was like, "That is SOOO weird!!"
