    I don't remember the exact moment... and honestly, I wasn't old at all... it's probably more to the point of I felt like an adult... but looked at myself as "old"... anyway, it was when I was 19. I was working as housekeeping staff for a campground and I looked at myself in the mirror (that I was cleaning) and said "wow! I'm old".


    Oh and I use MTv's birthday as a way to make others feel old... because we are the same age (give or take a few days).

    When I saw a bunch of teenagers dressed in all black (how I used to dress back then) and calling them "hoodlums" under my breath... LMAO. I'm only 23 but sometimes I feel like I'm 70. :tongue:

    When I took my younger brother (by 10 years) to get his senior portraits done Class of 13' and realized my 10 year reunion will be this year. And also when the photographer asked if I was his sister and when I said yes, he laughed. He then turned to my brother and said, "I say that to all the mom's to make them feel young" ...WTH i really am his sister :explode:

    This is easy.

    My name is Dino,

    A kid said to me one day: "You have a funny name!"

    My reply: "My mom named me after the Flintstones Dinosaur, You know Dino Dinosaur?"

    Kid: *turns to his mom*: "Mommy, whats a Flintsones?"

    A couple years ago when I was at the convenience store and I noticed the sign that said those born in the early 1990s were now legally able to buy cigarettes.
