You know you're old when...(fill in the blank)

Here's mine:

You know you're old when you run to the grocery store at 4 "before it gets too late" and because you want to be home before it gets dark (it's get so cold when the sun goes down!)?

O.M.G. I am such a dork!?

Your turn...?

College students look like 12 year olds.

When the two year old you used to babysit is now old enough to babysit for your child.  Ouch.

When you don't like going places after work because it is too late.

Friends from out of town call at 7 to see if you want to meet up for a drink and you're already in your pajamas watching  Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. This used to be the biggest going out night of the year, when everyone came back into town. But I don't think I'd change a thing!

when the idea of starting drinking at 7am on the Saturday of the football game seems like the dumbest thing you have ever heard.

when you are actually embarassed to leave your house looking like a broke hooker (i did this a lot on Saturdays after drinking all morning) - I'd run out to get food or something and have no shame.  Or after spending the night w/ my then boyfriend (now husband).  I have a lot of shame now.  I mean, I don't go out looking great all the time, but having mascara all over my face and looking like I partied hard the night before would NOT happen anymore.  I'd be so embarassed.

... you become the designated "cooker" of a dish that used to belong to an aunt/grandma/etc and said aunt/grandma/etc is still living.

You see a hot guy come into your pharmacy and then feel dirty when you see that he was born in 1990ish.

You know you're old when...

...you listen to talk radio on the way home from work to unwind

...you can't understand why your SD is on the phone, or texting friends for hours at a time

...you turn down a beer

...your to do list has more chores than fun stuff and you wake up early to get them done

 ...you read gossip blogs but still don't know who anyone under 25 is

You know you're old when...

men that "catch your eye" as attractive are graying or balding (late 30's and early 40's")

you see teen boobage and you want to tell them to enjoy their perkiness while it lasts cuz it ain't gonna last girls

you go to a store you used to frequent and feel just plain ancient (Gap, Victoria Secret, Express)

you look at the Billboard top 10 chart and have no idea what the song title is and which is the song artist/band

when you do go to parties, everyone leaves, yawning at 10pm (when parties used to START at 10pm but nobody really showed up til closer to 11)

you LITERALLY spend part of your 30th birthday party talking with 22 other people about your pension or retirement funds (we all laughed when we realized what we were doing!!!)

 

but!  i have to say my name is on some "old people list".  I got invited to join AARP and so my mail is hilarious.  I get mail on hearing tests/aids, retirement and pension planning sessions, retirement living apartments, long term insurance, dental plans, etc.  It's a little sneak peak at what it's like to be old!

Ooh, I have one from one of my 12th graders today. He asked me if I'd seen the movie Superman. I said yeah, a long time ago, like before I was 10. He looked at me funny. It dawned on me that he meant the new version that came out last year or so. I told him I haven't seen the new one, but I'd seen the original. He said, "There was an original?". I said, "Yeah, with Christopher Reeve." He asked who that was! Oh man did I feel old!
