 Mon Jun 19, 2006 2:23 pm You Know You're Old When........ |
|
You know you're old when...
You're on Classmates.com and have to click 1959-before when it asks what year you graduated !
You're at your oldest daughter's commencement exercises aka graduation ceremony and are already thinking "one down, one to go !" as you stare at your younger daughter, crying.
You and your teeth don't sleep together anymore.
You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't even remember being on top of it.
You have more patience, but it's actually because you just don't care anymore !
Your house catches fire and the first thing you grab is your Metamucil.
Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.

I have one to add from experience. 
You know you're old when you tell your five-year-old neice your age and her response is, "I can't even count that high."

You know you're old when...
You start a statement with "Back in my day..."
 thought I'd add that in there.

We have a saying here in Holland, translated it something like: Everything was better, in the old days!!
So, when you start saying that, you're old!!

You know you're old when...
You sink your teeth into a nice, juicy steak and they stay there !
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.

Heh. This is one my dad said.
You wonder if the members of bands that you listened to when you were a kid are still alive.
