You Know You Are Old When

The eye opener is meeting a student that you had in Jr High and finding out he is a great grandfather. I seem to remember I didn't like him much then either.

You know that you are old (not getting old) when you go to take a whizz and find that your zipper is already down.

Yes...what happens next is taking a whizz THINKING your zipper is already down.

Christmas was great but I got yet another reminder that I’m getting old.

We had a bunch of younger nieces and nephews over Christmas Eve. I had Dean Martin and Bing Crosby Christmas songs going as background music.

My 18 year old niece asked “who is singing”?

I said “Bing Crosby, maybe the best singer ever”. She looks at me and says “who is that”.

OMG in their language.

After much discussion and and a brief survey, turns out NONE of the kids 18 or under had any clue whatsoever about Bing Crosby, Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra. Not a clue.

I am getting old!!!

You are but I'm older...lol

You know when you've reached that 'pinnacle' when your feet go to sleep standing over the commode, taking a leak...

Been there and did that. In fact I did it yesterday and whiddled all over the front of my bibs and soaked my undies as well. Always have a 'fresh pair' of both handy.

Other thing is, when I got to go, I got to go NOW.. More than once, driving down the road, the urge comes up and no rest area handy, so I whip over on the berm, walk around the passengers side and open the door and hope to heck no one sees me taking a whizz.... Especially a cop as I don't want a ticket for 'indecent exposure' not that it is. At my age there is no decent or indecent exposure...lol

I just gots to go...

You're old when you make groans sitting down and getting up.
New Years eve is something you watch on the news the next day.
Then you fall asleep watching the Tv and miss it all over again.
All your stories of adventure and daring do are 40+ years old.
You avoid going into the basement unless you really need something. Stupid stairs.
You see your doctor more than your friends.
Your medicine cabinet is full of medications without a condom to be seen.
A second slice of pizza is off your diet and it'll keep you awake all night anyways.
