10. I woke up one day and suddenly I liked Neopolitan ice cream.
9. I wear Dansko shoes not just for comfort, but because I think they are cute.
8. My hair is thinning, but my mustache is developing handlebars.
7. All “new” music sounds the same to me.
6. I remember when pay phones cost ¢.10.
5. I remember pay phones.
4. I found a gray hair in my eyebrow.
3. I still have pillow marks on my face at noon even though I get up at 6am.
2. When I see people my age I think, I don’t look that old do I?
And the #1 sign that I am getting old…
I get called ma’am on a regular basis and I don’t live in the South.
good ones…
Just wait til those black hairs start sprouting out of your chin! Then you’ll KNOW you’re old! lol (I know from whence I speak!)
feeling your pain here!
Have you been spying on me?
The ma’am kills me. I really hate it when someone pulls the ma’am on me.
I remember pay phones too!!
I’ve had a mustache since my 20’s but of course it’s more acceptable on guys.
Not only do I remember pay phones but I remember why we use the word ‘dial’ when calling someone. I have a rotary dial phone in the office. If those were never invented and somehow we went straight to push button I wonder if we would ‘push’ a number today.
Ha. Join the old club, huh?
Don’t you still use pay phones?
No, pay phones are almost impossible to find where I live.
To tell you the truth, I don’t know if there is a pay phone in this little hippie town.
OMG NUMBER THREE MADE ME SNORT….Ive had pillow marks for going on 10 yrs now…LOL
Great list – – – just wait till you really ARE old, like me.
Two more reasons to add to your already great list: 11. My baby is starting kindergarten next week. 12. My eldest starts 9th grade next week! When did I get this old??? And to add insult to injury, instead of ma’am, I get called Doña. Doña!!! I’m too young to be a “doña”! 😛
You are too young to be a Doña.
Boy howdy….just had my 40th high school reunion and was uncomfortable being around all the “old people”.
I woke up one day and suddenly I liked Neopolitan ice cream.
Neopolitan is what’s up!
All “new” music sounds the same to me.
That’s because it is indeed all the same song. They just change the background vocals and re-release it.
I remember pay phones.
I still don’t own a cell phone, you know.
I get called ma’am on a regular basis and I don’t live in the South.
Bipolar Diva’s kids call me ma’am… it’s so confusing….
Way to screw with my reasoning. You young whippersnapper. Don’t talk back to your elders!
Oh, Mami, don’t start thinking of yourself as old yet…..you have a long way to go to old.
It is when the pillow marks never go away that you will know you have made it to old.
I love that you have such a great sense of humor about yourself, your comedy and confidence is inspiring.
Lol. I definitely identify with #7. 🙂
Aaaoohhh how I dislike the ma’am thing. Grrrrrr. And I never get carded for anything anymore. so so sad.
Number 7 made me howl. But, it does all sound the same!
That is a great list!!! So funny!!
That’s OK. The grocery clerk wanted to know if the kid’s cuisine was for my grandson. Yikes! I said no, my son. Oh, I’m sorry. The thing is, I’m 45, so I could be a grandma. I didn’t take that much offense. Still, I’d like to think I’m a young looking grandma. I’m not holding out much hope for that though.
Ha! #3 made me laugh out loud. I think #2 all the time. I don’t feel or look like people who are my age…or do I?
Cute post!
I too, remember when pay phones were 10cents in the US!
LOL ahh, the pay phones!
I love Dansko shoes.
#2 – all the time, and I ask my husband that question as well.
You for got the one that goes,
When your 4 year old grandson looks up at you and asks, “Why are you so old?”
Then you know the world knows it and you better get use to it. LOL
Love your post.
Dang kids have to be so honest!
oh! the lip hair! I was getting my brows done and my waxer’s all “do you want your lip done too?” And I’m all “do I NEED my lip done????” Yep.
Ahhhh!
Best,
Tina
LMAO!! Love this list. Hate this list.
I get every single thing on this list….
Dang! I must be gettin’ old, too.
P.S. Sorry I haven’t visited in a while. We moved. I was definitely thinking about you, tho!
Ouch. Those all hit close to home. Especially the “ma’am” part. What happened to us???
#3 made me laugh outloud
#8 is for real. I have bonded for life with a relatively new friend who has more facial hair than me…and she admits it freely!
Those are funny! Have a great day!
oh gosh. Now I just realized I’m getting old too!
I love these, and can relate to every one!
So true!!!
haha you are so funny, you always make me laugh 🙂 happy new year!!! u r an amazing person whom always see the positive and funny side of the challenge of living 🙂
Geeze, I’m hormonal and you just got me all choked up. Thank you so much for your kind words. I needed them right at this minute.
