What is a major “I’m getting old” moment you’ve experienced?

I made a pop culture joke about the Olsen twins with someone who is Gen Z and he responded with “Who the hell are they?”

As somebody who grew up wearing their clothing line, cosmetics, and perfumes from Walmart, read so many of the book series based on the adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley and consumed so much Mary-Kate and Ashley media, I couldn’t fathom living in a world where younger adults wouldn’t know who the fuck they were anymore when they were such a big part of my childhood and early pre-teen years. I had to lie down for a moment after that one.

I have had many, many going back decades. But recently it has been in connection with an oral history project I am working on regarding the housing I lived in while going to university in the 1950's. Having other alums from as far back as the late 70's reacting with surprise to things like switchboards, housemothers and lockouts for the women in gender-segregated houses, mandatory ROTC for men, ad infinitum is a reminder that "You've come a long way, Baby". Ah, yes. And the catch phrases. You can look it up, as Casey Stengel used to say. You can Google him and his sayings as well.

I have just come from my daughters 46th birthday party. And relative ages, who was older than the internet, and things like what was "Classic rock" were subjects that rolled around the table all night..As a Boomer I got extra credit for knowing the House of the rising sun, and extra hugs for being the last grandparent standing. (My wife in care wasnt there)😷

@Elessar Well, at the end of his carreer, he was mainly there as a dangerous artilery piece when the referee stopped the game. But... I doubt you can pull that off either. 👬

Idk, I'm 33 and I barely know who they are. But it's true that I know them as a meme though.

I feel like I’m aging when I pull muscles, and they hurt much longer than they use to
