You know you're old when...

You come home from a doctor's appointment and say, "She looked like she's about 18. I don't know *how* she's a doctor."

You realize the volume goes to 11 BECAUSE YOU NEED IT THAT LOUD

You it's a good night because you only had to get up twice to pee.

youd rather stay in and watch a good rom com than go out lol

When your children are now older than you were when you had them.
When you reminisce about the smell of a fresh ditto.
When you remember watching TV in black and white, with a rabbit ear antenna that was built in, and there was no remote, you had to get up and actually turn a knob to change the channel but there wasn't that much on anyway.
When you had a transistor AM radio and it was cool.
When TV dinners came in aluminum trays and had soup in them and were cooked in the oven.
When there were no cell phones and you used to have to hunt down a pay phone and have change to put in it.
When you used to have a Walkman with tape cassette and roller skated (not bladed) in public rocking out to disco.

You attend more funerals than weddings.
Your chia pet has grand chia's
You notice Depends on the store shelves :frown: :frown:

Most of your grooming potions / lotions have a medicinal or preventative purpose (may include your toothpaste)

Oh and complain about gasoline being $3.55 a gallon, starting stories with "when I was your age I paid .79 cents a gallon for gas...."

Try .49/gallon! Three bucks could have you cruisin' all night!

I remember $.29/gallon.

I remember $0.07 -$ 0.09/gallon during the Florida "gas wars" in 1968 and when gasoline tripled in price during the 1972 oil embargo to $0.39/gallon.

Of course, shortly after that we slowed down to 55 mph. I started a new career in Kansas. Driving across Kansas (or any western state) at 55 mph wasn't an experience, it was a career.

And when you pulled into a station and said "Gimme a dollar's worth of regular."

When you start saying things like "I remember back in my day" :ohwell:

^^^^^^^^^^ This!! Haha!! Everything you said, Plus..we thought it was cool to use baby oil and iodine and lay out in the sun. We used to make our halter tops and felt cool going bra-less! We used to make our own cloth pocketbooks..looked just like Vera Bradley. We didn't play video games, we played "kick the can" , red rover, red rover, red light green light, man we had fun as kids...mom would kick us out of the house after breakfast, and we would come home for a quick lunch, supper and beg to stay out as late as possible. We'd tie ropes to our handlebars of bike and pretend to ride them as horses, find wood and make our own stilts to walk around on! We would go on "adventures" and follow the creek, through a swamp to a pond....go fishing. Ride bikes to Lake Michigan and swim. Grandma would take us to the Keno...outdoor drive in....I loved my childhood!!!!

Boy do I feel old!! My kids laugh at me because I don't know current bands or what the point of twitter is!! I'd rather have real, face to face interactions with people!!

ONE exception is chatting with y'all! You guys on MFP rock!! Even the sarcastic, little stinkers that post in these forums!! You make me laugh, and everyone needs a good laugh!
