Yes, the reality has at last hit you: You’re no “spring chicken” anymore! What are some of those little tell-tale signs you’ve been seeing?
When 80’s music is classified as “Oldies”.
When you saw the pilot episode of Sesame Street…when it originally aired.
When you start receiving AARP junk mail.
When you refer to a CD as an “album”.
I had a major spinal surgery about a year and a half ago.
I was 33 at the time. It was the first time that I had a doctor, let alone a freakin’ neurosurgeon, that was the same age as me.
It was also, oddly, performed at a children’s hospital. I was there for 5 or 6 days to recover. It’s easy to assert dominance and crush any opposition when you’re the only person in the place with a mustache and tattoos.
When you go to the doctor for your checkup and ask about a few brown spots on your face (ya know, to make sure it’s not cancer) and get told they are AGING spots
For me it is seeing all the teenage girls being obsessed with Friends. I was a teenager when it first came out and now I see them dressing like we used to, but there is no way I could get away with it now (cropped tops, spaghetti strap tiny dresses)
Shopping for men’s clothing is a depressing affair. Seems everthing is designed for skinny 20-year-old dudes: tight-fitting pants. Tight-fitting shirts. “Slim Fit” suits. Outfits look fantastic on the store mannequin, but when you try on those same items you look like crap.
