Do you ever forget how old you are?

[honeybee503]

I am making a Shutterfly calendar and had to do the math. I thought I was two years younger than I really am. This happens every once in a while. It's a little embarrassing!

[Deleted]

All the time. I refuse to believe I'm 33. I for the meatball the time.

[Deleted]

Do the math. Wtf.

[Deleted]

I'm channeling my inner teamhayes.

[Deleted]

Totally. I'm 34 but I often think I am 'early 30s'
Ooops

[Deleted]

Yep. I have to do the math. Maybe when I'm 30 I will remember that year, but probably not.

[DesertMoon]

Sometimes I forget if I'm 25 or 26...then I remember I'm 26 and I just chose to forget that.

[rjamz]

I've been known to tell people I'm 23. I am not. Not for a while now. I don't know why that number pops out of my mouth.

[skwcm80]

I still think I'm 31. That was almost 4 years ago.

I tell people I'm 24. My favorite year. Not sure I can pass off as that young anymore though.

[earlybird]

It's not so much forgetfulness as it is denial. In my head, I'm 28.

[Deleted]

Yes

[browneyedhunni85]

What do you mean? How could I forget that I just turned 21!

[shmoo]

Yes, I'm stuck on 33.

[lynzee21]

All the time. Sometimes I stop and think how do I have two kids???

[jfh]

Yes, but I often err up, funny enough. It's because I start thinking of myself as the next year up a few months in advance, I guess to prepare myself? I don't even know why. I've just always rounded up as my birthday gets close, so sometimes I forget which is my actual age.

[fusion]

No, because I turn 30 in 10 days   

[kkfeb04]

Yes, I tend to think of myself as older because H is 6 years older. I tend to see us as meeting in the middle. My entire 30th year I thought I was 31.

I forgot that I needed to add a year when I had my birthday.

[alicia45]

Yes. I have to stop and think. I was 30 when A was born and now she's 2. So, I'm 32. Literally, every single time I have to think about my age I go through the math in my head.

[kandrze1]

Yes..someone said something to me recently stating my age and I was like what I'm 29?!! It took me a minute.

[bebeetmoi]

Nope- I am painfully aware my dirty-30 is just a few short months away:(

[kandrze1]

I am in deep, deep denial that my 30th is three months away.

[TrudyCampbell]

I recently turned 30 so I am very aware.

[carawestt]

All the time. People ask how old I am and I always say 22 before realizing I'm 24 now.

[silverjm]

I have to do the math all the time. 34? 37?, no 36 yeah.

Yes. I still feel stuck on the number 26. I don't believe I'm 28.

So I'm 28 too, and I almost always think I am 26!

[DaphneStrauss]

Uh yes. Last night I said I was 30 and I'm 31. I think I'll be stuck at 30 for awhile.

[jfh]

I know I say it every time, but the 30s are awesome. Don't fear them. Everyone I know IRL had better 30s than 20s.

I'm actually really excited to be 30!

I'm also really excited to stop getting carded someday. That will probably happen later than 30 though.
