I'm not old yet, but my youngest child is 33 next week....the benefits of 'starting young'......aches and pains make me feel 'old' though and the fact that I seem to be living in some parallel universe to the one I grew up in!

OI!!!! I wasn't quite THAT young!!!

He's a rather respectable 20 (which makes me a rather old-and-gray 40)

Don't say that RC - at 39 that means I'm just 1 year away from old and gray :eek:

I can't be old & gray quite yet :~(

Dj-ing at 18th, 21st and weddings and seeing people there that were little school kids, grabbing my trouser legs and saying "GRAHAM - Can you play that Alice song!" at kids discos many years ago.

Or when I go to the bar and they are serving me!

What makes YOU feel old?

When everyone else is younger than you, which is all the time. Who cares? The older you are, the luckier you are.

There's one excellent benefit to being old - failing eyesight definitely improves your reflection in the mirror - sort of built-in soft focus.

Having to use two hands to clean my teeth makes me feel old.

Or seeing old 'photos of oneself. Where did all that hair go?

I tend to feel old, when I go to Skinandis and there are kids there that I used to look after through either Playgroups, or Beaver/Cub groups!!
Plus the fact that my eldest Nephew is way taller than me and also able to go to the Pubs now!! Just to think I used to change his nappies...............lol!!!

Going to college and most of the students are half your age. One was even in the same class as my eldest son. Because of this I have been mistaken as a tutor on numerous occasions. Not sure if I should be flattered or upset??

When your eldest tells you about new bands he has just discovered that you were into 20 years previously.

Being called a wifie...thats a killer....hate that.

So that is where I went wrong - picked the wrong user name!!! :confused
Do you think that would be a valid reason for change?

I met a woman who introduced me to her 20 year old grand-daughter recently and I thought she was so young looking! And when I listen to 'This is the Life' thinking, ahh, I remember those days...

In my head I'm still 22 ... but that just can't be -that's the age I was when my eldest child was born.....and she's now....gulp! -33.... :eek:

As they say...do the math! :roll:
