Lol I've been thinking I'm 22 all week, when in reality I'm 23. I actually had an ARGUMENT with myself while standing in front of a bookcase at work. So sad.
Sometimes I forget. I think once you're past 21, it's hard to keep track, haha.
Oh thank goodness! I thought I was losin' it :)
Miss Chapstick I think you're right. After 21 there's really no point in keeping track. Now, when I start to mail regarding retirement options, then I'll go back to keeping track! Lol.
I do this all the time and can remember or figure it out pretty quickly. But I did this several months ago and I seriously had to sign on to my Myspace account to see how old I was, because I knew it would show up on my profile page!!!
My birthday was yesterday, so it always takes me a few months to get used to my new age :)
LOL!!! After 29... the years just blend together. I've been 30 for a few years now. LOL!!!
Luckily for me I was born in '70 so all I have to do is remember the current year and I can figure it out pretty quickly ;-)
I did that on Friday! I was talking to my friend and totally forgot how old I was, she had to correct me.
Yeah, once you're past 21... it doesn't really matter, until it's time to run for president.
I go to buy alcohol or lottery tickets, or even those days when I'm walking during school hours and a policeman feels the need to stop me and ask why I'm not in school, I have to stop and think about it. Usually I reply with "uh... crap, over 18/21, here's my ID."
I've been asked "you're over 18, right?" after buying a lottery ticket and holding it in my hand, and I'm never sure what to think of that. I mean, I've already got the ticket, I can tell you whatever you want to hear.
You aren't the only one! I sometimes have to convince myself that I am a certain age. And my dad thought I was turning 21 on my last birthday but it was 22!
The best is, I still get carded for alcohol now and then and for lottery every once in a while. Usually when I'm makeupless and dressed like a slob. I want to jump over the counter and kiss the clerk open-mouthed.
I can't say I've ever personally forgotten how old I am, but I can tell you my own father has!
I still remember being in the doctor's office in high school with him, and he was filling out the registration paperwork. All of a sudden - I KID YOU NOT - he turns to me and says, "how old are you?"
I about fell out of my chair...
I agree..After 21 there is no point in keeping track. It's kinda the last milestone age for awhile with perks.
16 - learner's permit/driver's licence
18 - legal/can buy cig's if your a smoker
21 - can drink
What else is there? I guess 25 you can legally rent a out a house, car, hotel room since most places don't let you before then, but really what is next besides retirement age?
My birthday was the other day so I'm also having a hard time adjusting to 24...I asked my 7 yr old nephew how old I was the other day and he said 38, now that makes me as old as his mom! He laughed like a little devil
My fiance had to point out that I'm actually 31, not 30. Thanks, dear. Grrrrrrr.
Yeah, that happens to me all the time. I think after 21, you don't remember anymore!
Yup, after 21 it gets a bit foggy. I got "stuck" at 22. From 22-25 I kept thinking that I was still 22 it happened multiple times!
Now I'm 26 and I can see that 25-30 will be a bit foggy too, I've already said the wrong age a few times.
I frequently have to calculate my age from my birth year. Since 26, I've been confused. ;) I think maybe it just doesn't matter as much anymore.
every time i blank out , i just remember how old my mom is , and it comes back to me ...we're exactly 30 yrs apart ..lol..
I haven't gotten used to 24 yet, the week we get back from our HM I turn 25, and I bet by then I'll be used to 24! LOL!
LOL, I also agree with you ladies, after 25 I'm like great, it's all down hill from here. LOL
I get ID'd all the time so I have to think wait a minute I am over 21...LOL
The years just fly by and it doesnt help that every year after 25 I have turned 25.
This has totally happened to me!
Especially when I get those drop down bars that say 21-25 and 26-30! I feel as if I should still be in the 21-25 box - I don't want to be in the 26-30 box 
I've done this before. I had someone recently ask my age and I responded "29"...Um, yeah...I'm 31. I don't know where that came from!
I have done that so much lately that I had to ask my husband if I was 31 or 32. I think the reason for this is since I am over the half way mark till my 32 birthday I have already started preparing myself to admit that I will be 32.
I forgot my SSN this week, which I've known since probably elementary school, lol.
I did this a few weeks ago! I was like, "blah, blah, blah... I'm 31... blah, blah - WAIT. Am I 31 or 32? Shit! I can't remember! Okay, born in 1977... do the math - crap. I'm 32."
I also did this when I went in to get emissions on my car - the guy asked me what year it was.
I said '96.
He came up to me later and whispered, "Uh, 'mam? I just wanted to let you know that your car is a 2006."
I knew that! I DID!! Why did I say '96??? I blame bride brain, since I was one month out at that point.
I forget the SOs age a lot. We always make fun of him for being old when in reality he is only 3 years older. I think after 21 there is just so little significance to each number that it becomes harder to remember. And it's not like you get asked your age all that often.
LAYLA LMAO!!!!! About the car, the funny part isn't even that you said '96, but that he whispered to you that is was a 2006. ahhhhhhhh that cracks me up!
I forget too!!!! I say I'm 29 but the ages 27-29 sort of blended together for me... I honestly can't wait to be 30!! I am soo excited about 30 because I get to be sexy and fantastic and fun! Well sexier, more fantastic, and the most fun! I guess I see a lot of financial independence in my 30s as well. I am in my own business etc and smart enough not to buy into the materialistic traps that I fell into in my 20s and now I am coming into my own so to speak...
@honeybun - I was SOOOOO embarassed, and it's not easy to embarass me!! I have NO idea what I was thinking... that's a 10 year difference! And it's like he knew I would be embarassed, so he whispered. I then spent ten minutes trying to convince him that I'm not an idiot. I don't think it worked.
I am 22, and thought to myself the other day that I was 21. Not that big of deal, but it was still funny to me, when I told FI and he was like "Wait....you're 22, not 21." and I was like "Oh yea, that's right." hahaha. I've only been 22 since July so that might be why. Oh well. I think it happens to a lot of people.
Laylabelle- That is too funny, but hey it happens to the best of us =]. I always seem to make myself sound more like an idiot when I try to make myself look like I'm not, haha oh well.
I always have to stop and calculate when people ask. Thank goodness I was born in a year ending in a zero.
For the WHOLE year my mum was 42 she thought she was 43. She honestly didn't realize until her birthday rolled around and we all pointed out she was turning 43. So, for the next year she considered herself 42, as she'd "missed it" the first time around.
All that to say, it happens to the best of us!
@hergreenapples:ADORABLE!! my mom forgets too.. she calls me and asks me how old she is!! LOL!!! she's soo cute..
This happens to me ALL the time, but it's because in Korea your age is always 1 or 2 years older than international age. Everyone turns a year older at the same time (Lunar New Years) and everyone is 1 when they are born. Therefore, because my birthday is at the end of Oct. I'm usually two years older than I 'really' am. At the moment, Canadians say I am 29 while Koreans say I'm 30...but before my birthday the difference was 28/30. So when people ask me my age I have to stop and think....which age are you asking?
FI's birthday is usually right around the time of the Lunar New Year. So in 2008 he was 34 one day, 35 the next day, and 36 the day after that!

No seriously, I was about to get my ID out of my wallet! I was at a new doctor's office during lunch, filling out the paperwork, and... I spaced. I was like, "wait, I'm 27 right? Gotta be 27". Now I know I have too much going on! Thank goodness for Thanksgiving. It means I can have a few mental health days lol, jeesh....
Please tell me this has happened to someone else! Lol
