You Know You Are Old When

[MoKelly]

You know when you're old when the cops look younger than you do.

That has been going on for some time now with me!

I had that epiphany some years ago when I found out my doctor was younger than me.

Is that the actual truck, or a similar model?

My family had an old Chevy with a similar design, but it was in much worse condition than your picture. I wouldn't exactly say that I loved it. It didn't have much power, and the wipers used some sort of vacuum technology. If I pushed the accelerator too far, the wipers would stop working.

I sometimes had to choose between seeing where I'm going and making it up a hill.

Not the actual truck. Mine had pretty good blue factory paint. 1 ton capacity and 17" split rim wheels. I remember the wipers - lol. I did love it. It was my sole transport for about 5 yrs. I worked as a carpenter and sold firewood on the side... in those days I needed both jobs to pay rent in some old drafty farmhouse.

As my wife tells me, she expects me to look at the candy at the candy store, but she just doesn't want me buying any LOL

You know you're old when she says it's OK as long as you don't overindulge and then you don't both to make that trip to the store.

And probably no tasting of the free samples!

Free samples ended in high school.

Or when your son (the cop) tells you about the new young recruits they have hired.

Anything "free" ends after getting married LOL

That said, after 21 years, no regrets what so ever.

I was just joking with my wife on some of these spam emails I get about "Date girls my age".

I explained to my wife if anything happens to her, I'm not dating anyone at my age, but at least HALF my age

I haven't really had anybody I called "my doctor" for quite some time.

I think my mother intentionally chose a young pediatrician/family doctor to grow with the family. I met him again in the mid 1990's, and he was getting mighty old. His shingle is now gone from his former office, and I'd be very surprised if he is still alive.

When I was a kid, I knew most of my parent's work colleagues. Many were their age. My father was the first in that group to pass away. But by now the rest of them are getting mighty old.
