Whitney Houston dying. That was horribly sad for a lot of reasons.
One of them being, how very old it made me feel.
Oh and every "anniversay of MTV" I'm like "wow, I'm old I remember them just playing music"

    When my brother became old enough to drink. I was 9 when he was born. I changed his diaper and now he can buy booze!

    Coincidentally, I was 30.

    You always have the best chit chat topics. Mine is EASY.

    A couple of years ago I became Facebook friends with a girl I graduated high school with who is now teaching at the middle school we went to. Through her, my 6th grade English teacher showed up on my "People you may know" so I added her. It was then that I found out she had grandchildren. No big deal you say? Well, she had her first baby when I was in 7TH GRADE! So I sat there going, "Wait? What freaking year was I in 7th grade?" I have to say, her kids had kids young, but still...I am not as young as I thought!

    The first time (and every other time after that) a guy came over to talk to me and one of the first things out of my mouth is "how.old are you?" to determine if the conversation would go much further.

    Also, when I went to my friend's daughter's graduation and they mentioned that they started school in 1999, that's the year I graduated..

    I was coaching a summer league competitive swim team made up of 4-18 year olds. I made a reference to "Back to the Future" which no one seemed to get.

    boom. old.

    Three weeks ago I was driving on the interstate when a red Mustang flew past us, at about 100mph. My neighbors granddaughter says "Sweet car" and all I could think of was that is so dangerous. Quickly followed by Wow I'm officially old now!

    While I'm still laughing at Cliff's "old guy" moment, Id have to say:

    trying to explain that 9 inch nails was a rock band to a group of teens... not real nails.
    My husband was going on and on about them (and a few other bands) for a good 5 mins before I "cleared" it up! too funny, but, man! Did I feel old!

    When I started trying to figure out what movie times would be best to avoid "the annoying teenage crowd."

    Mid-week matinee, anyone? Late night showing on a school night?
