And I am sure my wrinkles wont make me feel old either.
Hearing snap, crackle and pop when I’m not eating cereal.

I wasn't much older than you when, at a pub having a cold one, I started talking to a young man and in our conversation, I mentioned when I graduated high school... he responded with "that's the same year my mother graduated!".

@Ontheroad Yesterday I was at the grocery store. As I was checking out they had one guy ringing me up and another bagging everything. The guy bagging had his girlfriend show up. She was definitely pretty. Then the thought hit me. Stop looking at her. You are old enough to be her grandfather.

@Sevendays Yes it is 🙂
When someone age 36 is old enough to be my child yes it's embarrassing I am getting old. Lol

Not understanding young people slang. Didn't even understand it when I WAS a teenager

Seeing people much younger or my age in all these formal positions like doctors, nurses, optometrists, teachers, bank clerks... I'm used to talk to these aunties and old men being in the sort of position of authority, possesing the knowledge in their field. So yeah, this is pretty new to me and it makes me feel like I should also be able to at least pretend to be the professional in what I do. 😅

My resentment towards self checkout. Lol

Like half the people I know are going back to school... leaving toxic industries or trying to keep up with the cost of living. I'm like let's just rob a bank, please.

Recognizing full adults I can relate to as peers are so much younger than me they have no frame of reference for shit I take for granted.
My mum was 46 when she went to college.

@Gingerbreadspice My dad started college in his late 30's now that I think about it. It was the same year that I started kindergarten from what I've been told.

My godson turned 22 last week. He’s 6’2". I have a picture on a shelf holding him when he was about 6 mos old. And it doesn’t feel like it was that long ago.

Waking up in the morning with my shoulders hurting and just being stiff in general.
