    I graduated high school 15 years ago!!!!

    The music I grew up listening to is considered oldies

    I catch myself saying, " When I was your age........

    Hmm. I graduated high school 15 years ago......None of the other two apply to me.

    It's the 80's rock music that is played on a "Classic Rock" station here.
    Ohhh. . . I hate it when I hear something from the 80's on the classic rock station. That wasn't that long ago!!! Was it?

    My son graduates high school Sunday. :(

    Should I say -- Hopefully my son will be graduating Sunday!

    My two eldest graduate this year, too. I feel your pain on both points.

    I also hate that my eldest three children were born before the Internet was an everyday thing, not one of the kids know what a rotary phone is - much less how to use one, and they have no clue that there was a time without cellphones.

    The other day, I was trying to figure out when my 15 year high school reunion would be, since I skipped the 10 year...only to have it dawn on me I missed that as well, and it won't be too long before my 20 year reunion.

    I chaperoned my best friend's class trip with her, at the same school where we met when we were three. And she introduced me to her class by telling them 'we've been friends twice as long as you've been alive'.

    The fact that kids starting high school this year were born in 1998.

    I was going to put my own suggestion but this one makes me want to put my head in the oven. Which sucks since it's electric.

    There are too many to count, however, for the purposes of this site, the fact that you can workout through the use of a video game console. :frown:

    My niece was talking about this "old creeper" who was hitting on her at a club. He was 28. :laugh:

    Yikes, that's a rough one.

    Another one for me: If I'm playfully called "mister" I have to double-check to make sure I'm right about the playful.

    that kids born in this century have no idea what the world was like before the internet and cell phones.

    Exactly!!
    They have never used a card catalog at the library, had to read a book to get facts or going to visit friends in person. :laugh:

    My son's eyes get wide when I tell him I only had three television stations -- and no remote control.

    I remember when MTV played music videos (on my friends' televisions -- because MTV wasn't one of the three stations).


    I walked to school uphill -- both ways :laugh:

    I have been starting sentences with "A hundred years ago..." and I'm only off by about 50 years. :P

    I remember when Howie Mandel had hair and shook people's hands.

    I watched Back to the Future and thought he went so far back in time. If he went back in time today... he would only go to 1982.

    My girls just watched Saved By The Bell on Netflix ( a show I watched when I was in HS) and after they watched it I asked them if they wanted to see what the actors looked like now and they said "wow, aren't they all dead?" WTF! I'm not that old at all!

    That my oldest child is 18 this year :(

    That my university student number starts with an 89 - the year I started my first degree :( Still perplexed how I managed to pass without the internet and a laptop. Oh and how at my first job we all ooh'ed and aah'ed about this wonderous thing called the internet on one specific desktop, despite the fact there was an extremely limited number of actual sites.

    When I look in the mirror, all I can focus on is the wrinkles and I spend far too much time have internal debates about the pro's and con's of botox.
  • People who where born in the 80's can drive :)

    and people born in the 80's can DRINK! well some of us!
