Share with us a personal "I'm so old" story.

I'm so old I remember when carnivals still featured freak shows.

EDIT: I remember my parents got a "baby bonus" from the gov't of $8 per month for me in the 1950s !!

Sometimes, outside on the dirt and/or grass around the phone booth, if you looked close and long enough, you'd find the odd nickle or dime, too :D
