You Know You Are Old When

I could be wrong, but I believe after Disney came "Family Affair" and "Mutual of Omaha's Wild kingdom" was in there as well.

Remember the first time watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Went to my room and came running out crying because I thought the "Child Catcher" was hiding in my bedroom.

Funny enough, Benny Hill was in that movie. Remember watching The Benny Hill Show with my dad laughing as hard as he did. Come to think about it, not really a age appropriate show for young audiences.

Wasn't until I got older when I started wondering how Steve Austin's non bionic arm could keep up with his bionic arm when he was running 60 miles an hour.

Got all the grandkids hooked an Chitty Chitty Bang Bang…

We planned a entire adventure trip to the Castle and they were singing songs along the way…

I had also reached out to arrange a ride in the original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car in England but my brother quashed that…

To make it happen I was to make a charitable donation…

Completely agree on where you would try to obtain the data to draw a correlation.

I read where some partners agree to do one thing, and the one partner decides it upon themselves to surpise the other partner for "surprised laughs" because their better half isn't expecting anything.

I know when my wife and I agree to do something together, we do as we say.

I've got to be honest, no where have I asked anyone at any point in my life to smear any part of my body with food. Now, perhaps I have dreamt about whip cream in my younger years

Tijuana Brass whipped cream?

We had no curfews, as there was not much to be worried about.

Is Arthritis Ointment edible?

I’ve stolen a few brides to a nearby tavern and the ransom required the groom paying the bat tab!

My future wife and I drove 8 hours to my dads home for the wedding, and most of my wifes family drove 8 hours south from Vermont to my dad's house to go to the church and church hall (for the reception).

We had the wedding in my old church on one day (another story with ministers there) and then on the next day, we were driving 8 hours north to go to Vermont on our honeymoon (with my wifes dog, who I loved as my own).

Let's just say that after the wedding at the church hall, and then having everyone at my dads house with NO BARS nearby, I wasn't in the mood to have to negotiate for my wifes return.

What my dad forgot about was that I had some of my guns still laying around his house.

3 things in life you don't mess with is a mans wife, his dog and his money (in no particular order) LOL

Needless to say I apologized to everyone, but it was a long two days for the wedding, and we had to drive 8 hours the next day for our honeymoon (and then 16 hours back to NC).

If refering to my shoulder, wasn't in the picture when we got married. I got married at 38. Issue with my shoulder didn't pop up unti a few years later.

When you state "Tijuana Brass", the only thing I can think of is Herb Albert.

Kind of pertains to getting old

Now I'm really old. You're one step ahead of me

My dad had that album that I listened to on the "TV stereo" (as I called it) system down in the basement. Big wide TV screen in the middle, turner on one side and record player on the other side. Thing had to be at least 4' wide.

OK, now I'm feeling older. That album cover was scandalous for its time. Today, she's overdressed!
