You know you're getting old(er) when...

  • your babysitters start calling you ma'am and sir
  • the kids YOU babysat have their license, are in college, or have even graduated from college
  • you have to split a movie into two nights because you can't stay up long enough to watch it in its entirety
  • sleeping late means getting up at 7:30 or 8:00 am (or 5 am if you're past 50)
  • music concerts require ear plugs
  • you can't drink caffeine after 3 pm without serious consequences
  • TUMS aren't just for pregnancy
  • you pull a muscle doing something you easily did just a few years ago
  • you can say you've lived through part or all of 5 decades +
In honor of birthday fun, Scott and I created this list Friday night. While we truly don't believe we're "old" in the least, we couldn't help but laugh that all the statements above are very true at this point in our lives. :)

Feel free to add your own statements to the list. If I get a lot more, I'll post a revised version.

I read this quote today in the magazine, The Week: "Middle age is when you've met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else".
