It's Official: I'm Old
My wife and I were taking a walk this evening. We were coming to our house and the neighbor kids were out playing. There are 2 neighbor kids and they had a friend with them. They are early elementary and mid elementary age. I waved and said hello.
The friend asked who we were. The neighbor kid says "Those are the old people that live next door." Really? Man, when did this happen?

When we moved into our house 7 years ago we were the young couple with the little kids. Since then 4 neighbors have moved out, 2 have gotten divorced and now we are the old people with the old kids. Everyone else is just having babies now. I don't think it's fair that I've gone from one to the other so fast. I ain't even 40 yet!

Yeah, you don't know what old is until you hit 40. That's when it bites you in your ever-drooping a$$.

I had an "I'm old" moment earlier today. My daughter was watching the most recent Muppet movie on TV and Tina Fey comes on in her Russian uniform, which has that vaguely Soviet look to it. The thought strikes me that there are kids who have graduated college now who never knew a world where the Soviet Union existed.

Time to get really into being the old guy. Cardigans, robes, pipes, monocle, no trespassing sign in yard, no soliciting sign on door, gruff exterior, tiny little heart of gooey marshmallow goodness buried in a lump of hardened coal deep within the chest.

This was a few months back... I went to the grocery store on a Tuesday morning to grab some stuff. When I checked out it was a fairly young girl. After the usual pleasantries, she looked at me and said, "Aren't you glad it's Tuesday?" I asked her why I should care if it was Tuesday. She said, "Because you get your senior discount today." Now, I don't think I look old (blonde hair, not gray) and I'm only 45. I must have looked shocked and I answered with, "How old do you think I am?" She went completely pale and just said, "Oh, I'm sorry."

At least I always get people guessing I'm younger than I am. Sometimes to a ridiculous extent.

I had a guy give me the senior discount at Taco Bell, but I assume he was just being cool and doing me a favor.

I've always looked young for my age but I've noticed in the past couple years I'm starting to age. The grey is beginning to show up, but I'm actually cool with it. For once in my life maybe I'll start getting treated like a real adult, not getting carded for booze at 35 and asked if my parents were home by solicitors when I was 32.

I got a letter through saying my town was doing free health checks on the NHS, and i was on the list of people my doctors surgery thought might be interested. Rough translation you're over 40 and we want to make sure you're not about to kark it.
I was told I was in great shape, and I should carry on doing what I am doing. That weekend I was doing tequila shots in Seville in a youth hostel bar with some 19-20 year US college students... that part was great: the following (late) morning I felt very old though!

My wife gets mad because I don't have any gray hair at 44, and she's had some for years despite being 3 years younger.

I was at a Bar Mitzvah the other day and as it wound down I realized how old I was because I wondered how do kids today know when a dance is over? They don't play Stairway to Heaven anymore.

I know I am old because at work, I am invited to more "retirement" cocktails than to "child birth/wedding" cocktails.
