You Know You Are Old When

[MossRoad]

You know you're old when you realize both of your parents would be 100 next year.

My dad would have been 100 five years ago.

Wife and Daughter went to see The Rat Pack at the Thresher-Horn Center last night. They enjoyed themselves! Those 3 were the characters!

They saw 3 individuals. They didn't see the Rat Pack.

On the flip side, occasionally I will see an obituary of a high school classmate’s parent, and will think “geez…..I guess I’m not as old as I think”

Yeah, it's all relative. My step father said recently, "I thought I was old and rich, until I moved to Florida."

I've stopped seeing obits of classmates parents and teachers.
I'm seeing obits for classmates.
I put a small checkmark in my high school year book.
I'm starting to get some pages with multiple checkmarks.

I do the same, except it’s for folks I worked with for many many years before retiring.

I just had a 6 volt light on my bicycle as a kid. I don't remember it dragging that much but do recall learning to reach back and disengage it when going downhill, or it would burn out the bulb.

I had one of those when I was a kid too. Given that pretty much anywhere I needed/wanted to go was uphill, any drag was too much, especially on the old beater 3-speed bike I had. Not many opportunities to go fast enough for it to get bright enough to be much use.

I now have to make a list before going to any store...then I misplace the list.

I hear ya. Or if I remember to bring the list, I left off the most important item, the one I didn't think I needed to write down because for sure I'd remember it.

On the flip side, occasionally I will see an obituary of a high school classmate’s parent, and will think “geez…..I guess I’m not as old as I think”

I'm getting to the point where it's my classmates' obituaries I'm seeing...most of our parents are long gone.

I know I’m old as all 4 of my brothers and their wives are dead. I’m the last of my generation. My father would have been 123 last September.

A similar story here. My dad was born in 1896 and my mom in 1899. I have already outlived my 3 brothers and 2 sisters by more than 10 years.

You really know you are old when your kids start talking about signing up for Social Security.

I'm the baby from an old family. My father would have been 119 in two weeks. He was a great guy and well-respected man.
