What's the last thing that made you realize your age?

My face

My baby sister will be 21 next month

[eav2c]

Well I am 26 but you are getting my response anyway.

Being referred to as an "old zeta" to a current sophomore in college in my sorority. Wahhhh

Yesterday at freshmen orientation the seniors were complaining that the current freshmen were born in 2000. 2000! They told me it made them feel old, ha.

I told them now they know how I feel.

The new millennium?  That was just yesterday.  I'm sure someone around here still has their Y2K survival kit when all the computers crashed and civilization changed forever.  Oh wait. No it didn't.

When I told my sister the other week I hadn't read The Giver in 20 years and it was true.

This past Monday marked the exact day 15 years ago that I moved to Idaho.  I lived in WI for exactly 15 years too, which will now make ID the state in which I've lived longest in.  That's weird, because I'm "from" WI, but I guess I'm an Idahoan.
Also, I'm a great aunt 8 times over thanks to DH's huge family.

I always think I'm 26****.  I'll be 35 in a month. Holy shit.

The students are starting to come back to town.  I saw a girl on her way to soccer practice and I realized it had been 17 years since I did that.  I vividly remember my first day of soccer practice in college.  I was terrified. 

Then I realize that the girl I saw could have been BORN on the day I went to my first practice.  BORN!!


****If you are 26, I don't want to hear about your middle school escapades

How about my high school escapades?i feel like I'm still 22, sometimes I forget if I'm 24 25 or 26...it's all just a blurr now. The last thing that made me feel old was watching my god daughter (14) trying to work a VCR...she was completely baffled.

Remember when Conan used to do the skit, "In the year 2000....."

I say this all the time!

I was looking for a dress for a wedding at the mall yesterday and I don't want to spend much so I went into teenage stores like Charlotte Russe and dh said, you know, you don't have to shop here, you can spend more money in the dress so we don't have to be in here. I so felt like I didn't fit in. No dresses fit me at loft though so I was desperate. We passed by forever 21 and I mentioned we could looked there and dh looked at me and said, you aren't 12. Damn it. I feel too old to shop at juniors stuff but I can't get clothes at women's stores to ever fit me right. I'm a women too dammit!

My mirror has been shocking me lately.

This is why I hate shopping.

having three kids makes me feel this everyday

[abbypug19]

I keep plucking out gray hairs.

I'm 10+ years older than the newest people in my department.

I've known my bff for over 30 years!

My knee has been killing me.

I no longer get carded. I think I have a disgruntled look on my face all the time.

So I have this thing about who I card at work. If you look passable as 18-25 I card you. If you look over 25 I just verbally ask for their birthday(I have to type it in the computer). If you are grandma status I just type in my own birthday and don't bother them. Most older people get pissed when I bother them for their id or birthday. I have some interesting stories that led up to my little chart here. I feel sooo bad when I verbally ask someone and then notice they were starting to pull out their id. They look like they are thinking "dammit I didn't get carded. Womp womp."

The movie thread and people talking about being kids when certain movies came out.
Talking about my "little" brother to someone and realizing he just turned 31.

I was thinking this too. Someone said Pocahontas and I was too cool for Disney movies by the time Pocahontas came out!

I used to card people based on whether they looked younger than me. Now I'd be carding everyone lol.

Except I've never been too cool for Disney movies. I even liked Hercules!

I'm gonna blame it on teenage stupidity because there is no such thing as being too cool for Disney movies!

"Pardon me Ma'am"

He was talking to me. I am a Ma'am.

That's right young lad, respect your elders.

My niece can legally drive and has a real job. She'll always be the kid that peed on my lap at a movie theater, though.

I realized all the actors I think are hot are in their mid thirties or forties. I thought that was odd until I realized I'm 28.

[onehitwonder]

Every time W watches Daniel Tiger and I realize I grew up watching Mister Rogers.

[lolaburns]

The first movie thread made me do a wtf re:my age.

[browndog]

I had a student teacher that was closer in age to my students than she was to me.
