Topic: Getting Older | |
---|---|
I find myself thinking (assumptively) "Ya, I rememember that"..even though I realize that I HAVE NO FREEGIN CLUE what it's like to be young "these days".
I catch my tongue when I start to say "when I was your age"....Eeeew, sounds too much like my parents. I'm 42 and some of my contemporaries are becoming Grandparents. WOW! I don't feel that different....but time has various surprises for me. ![]() |

![]() Not only did we have a rotary phone when I was a kid, we had a party line! What a PITA that was... pick up the phone to call your friends, and have to wait for the neighbor to get done with their call. |

When I was younger, I thought older people were square, and out of touch, but now that im older, I find that were all the same, we just look different. I wish I had listened to older people better when i was younger, now I find the only difference between young and old is the way we look, and the amount of knowledge we have. Whenever I try to explain something to a young person, and they don't believe me, I see myself, 30 years ago, standing in front of me. Amazing

I knew I was getting older when I started saying...."Years ago...."

I know this sounds crazy but I got a coke in an actual "glass" bottle the other day. Man, I'd forgotten how good it tasted when it wasn't in plastic.

Thankfully I will never have grandkids because I don't have kids!!
![]() ![]() The only flair up of age I have is when I see kids acting stupid (just like I did) and I think, "I remember when I was that dumb!" I laugh at them and thank everything around me I am not them anymore!!! Ok ... I guess I do have another one. When I see kids complaining about their iPhones or xBox360 - I think - "Shut up! We had Pong, rotary phones, no answering machines and no call waiting until I was a teenager!" ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
