I got called old for the first time when I was 24. 7th grader: How old are you? Me: I'm 24. 7th grader: That's old! Me (defensive): Twenty-four is NOT old! 7th Grader: You're twice our age; that's old. Me: Oh.
I have, therefore, been "old" much longer than most people have been. Congratulations on making it almost to 50 before becoming old.
PS. At least you didn't have a 1st grader when you were a mere 27!
Fifty is the new "born in 1987".
ReplyDeleteThank you. xo
DeleteHa! I never thought age meant much. People get old but not because of their age.
ReplyDeleteHear, hear!
DeleteAmen! xo
Deleteand this is why my mother never told me her age until i was older :P
