When the '90s was only like 5 years ago… right?
My kiddo said “can we listen to your cool vintage channel ?” (Referring to Lithium on Sirius) … VINTAGE??
You know you’re getting older when your childhood toys are now considered collectibles and antiques.
When you roll over in bed to turn off your alarm, but your body wasn’t ready to move, so one wrong twist causes you to have a stiff neck for the next week
When a co-worker says “someday when I’m really old, like 50” and you grasp your heart in an old timey faint.
Whipper snappers.
When the word that comes to mind when describing this is umbrage.
Am I one hundred years old?
When you can remember smoking on a airplane and you were legally old enough to do it.
And… when common decency was common.
You start to sound like your mother
When you tell your son that you passed your driving test in 1970
When you realise it’s been 20 years since you graduated from high school
When you now get “carded” for ENTIRELY different reasons.
When the police officers look really young you know your getting old.
Taking orders from supervisors who could be your kid.
When younger people start letting you go by first.
Getting the senior discount.
When young people with babies don’t look older than 16!
Also when they are no longer around.
Not old! It’s a sign of being either smart or domesticated It’s a fine line in the sand though lol
When you can’t remember what happened in a certain year in your life but have a vague idea of the decade that it might have happened in.
For example, my grandma told me stories of her life but couldn’t give a date. So I started asking what decade it was when this and that happened She lived to see 86 years.
When you get a stiff neck from an open window…during summer…without any significant amount of wind blowing though it.
When people stop calling you after 8 pm.
The music and fashion of your youth is now refered to as “retro”
My nephew, whose diaper I changed when I was in in my 20s, is a police officer now.
When you are tempted to say to people “I remember when I changed your diapers”.
Oh no he didn’t!! Lol
But you know, I kond of like the sound of “vintage”, its a cool word.
