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 !!

I’m so old I wore polyester pantsuits with MaryJane shoes to school.

I’m so old I walked myself to/from school in kindergarten

I’m so old that they didn’t even give out birth certificates where I was born! I didn’t get a birth certificate until I was in my mid twenties

That middle one about kiddie garden - me, too! No helmets when riding a bike, either. How did we ever make it to adulthood??

@rinkydinkydoink I know!’ I’m amazed! No seatbelts or car seats either!
