-you can't stay up past 11pm anymore
-your idea of a fun night out is actually just staying in
-if you go to a bar, you feel like lecturing the scantily clad girls there about respecting themselves
-when you drink these days, the hangover lasts 2 days!
-you walk into a room and can't remember why you went in there
-you owned a Pogo Ball or a Popples
-you use a map/mapquest instead of a GPS and own a paper dayplanner as opposed to an electronic one because damn that technology is not as reliable!
Got any to add? I could come up with so many more!
The adorable blonde ponytailed little girl that you used to babysit every weekend heads off to her freshman year of college, and thrives. So proud!
Your own kid will be in highschool next year (and this thought makes you feel all panick-y and vomit-y inside).
You watch The Matrix and realize that it is more than a decade old.
Beavis and Butthead return, and you still remember the original.
@StaceyMay81: I had a pogo ball AND popples!
@lauramich: Oh God, I've been feeling this one lately!
@lovekiss: B&B rule.
When you still think the 90s were ten years ago.
You look over at the CHILD driving the car next to you and just KNOW they can't be old enough to have a drivers license.
And I am/do everything on the first list ha ha!
@Juliepants: I'm guilty of that and I really don't think I'm that old... I guess I'm getting there, haha.
@Juliepants: ahahahah I love the comment about the 90's! It also reminds me of the movie Bridesmaids when Kristen Wiig's character is messed up on the plane and she says "It's the 90's!" lol.
Love all of these. Want more.
When you'd rather listen to NPR or talk radio because the pop radio station is too fussy.
Oh jeez.
@Juliepants: The 90s were yesterday! what are you talking about? Lol
The first time you say "That is music!?"
Everyone seems to know a hot young star except you *cough ryan goslin* still don't know who he is.
When you have to ask your children who they are thinking about voting for.
You see a former highschool classmate at the mall pushing a baby stroller and you say "Is this your new little one?" and they say "Oh God no! This is my grand daughter."
Yeah...I'm that old.***sigh***
A few weeks ago my FI and I watched Woody Allen's movie "Manhatten" which I hadn't seen in about 15 years. This time around I was really outraged about the affair portrayed between Woody Allen and Mariel Hemmingway. I kept thinking "That man is just a predator! For Gods sake, where is that girls mother?" Last time I saw the movie, I don't think I even gave it a thought. Now I see it from a true adult perspective, it's a whole other movie.
You remember doing the "roger rabbit" or the "cabbage patch" dance.
oh this is a great thread! i wish i could think of something to add right now, but you guys have covered everything.
Ugh. When you hear songs from your teen years on the Classic Rock station! (Fwiw, it was Pearl Jam's Evenflow.) I was like, "Wuuuuuut? Seriously?! On the classic rock station?! C'mon! Dammit. *sighs* I'm officially old."
...when you don't recognize chart topping music because you'd rather tune into traffic or talk radio stations.
...when you realize men like George Clooney is very attractive as opposed to Ryan Gossling.
...when you say "kids these days"
@Wonderwoman217: I know. It frightens me that the defining music of my teens, grunge, is now considered by some to be "classic rock." WTF?
You know you are getting old when...
You wore today's trends (skinny jeans, off the shoulder tops, flourescent colors, etc.) the first time that they were trendy.
Your child says to you, "Mom, you just don't understand. Things are different now!" and you remember giving your parents the exact same schpiel.
You think the college interns in your office should be taught how to dress appropriately for work. (NOTE: Miniskirts are not appropriate office attire!)
You realize that you are likely older than some of the people who educate your child.
You keep waiting for grunge fashion to come back into style, because you still have a pair of perfectly ripped jeans and a flannel from back in the day. (:cough: Mr. LK :cough:)
You know what Doc Martens are, and nobody under 30 does.
When you see the Real World on MTV and think the people on the show look like babies.
When date night conversations include the pros and cons of green versus yellow paint colors.
You know you're old when you tell your kid to roll down the window in the car if they're hot and they start looking for the auto button and say "BUT HOW??? WITH THAT THING??" while pointing at the spinner.
If I don't get more than 6 hours of sleep I'm a zombie. Back in my party days, I used to sleep 2 hours after partying and go right back to work.
I have to look up what the new internet abbreviations the kids used these day mean.
The last one i looked up was "LMS" in facebook. Which means "Like My Status" hahahah!
when you start to get heartburn :(
I LOVE spicy food and as I get older, I've noticed that my body reacts differently now, Boo!!
I saw a Mary Kay car (pink cadillac) and noted my spotting to my FI. My 20something FI said, who's Mary Kay?
- when you start out sentences with "kids these days ___(insert x)_____". Of course followed by "When we were kids, we never ___(insert x)___"
One of my teaching friends, who is about 8 years younger than me, informed me this week that she was watching old episodes of Felicity on the weekend and she thought to herself 'wow, this must have been what college was like when Ree723 was there!' Sure enough, it was a 1999 episode and I was a junior in college then. Ouch. Way to make me feel old!
@RR: I get that a lot with my DH. We have an age difference between us. He being the younger. Color Me Badd's, I Wanna Sex You Up came on the radio the other day...he had NO clue who they were. I couldn't even enjoy the song because I just felt like an old bat. LOL!
@autumn865: Ha, or you remember when The Real World didn't cast personalities types or people who'd hop into a hot tub the first night in the house!
@vmec: man, I've been ranting about this younger generation for years! And I'm only 30. LOL
...When you spend more time listening to the music you grew up with instead of listening to what's on the radio now.
Parts of my body crack and get stiff that never did before.
My forehead wrinkles are getting a little more pronounced. NO!!!!!!!!!!!
@CountryGirl80: My FI is younger, too! I adore, mi amor.... I'm pretty confident I've sang that before and he had no idea what I was singing! : ) Yes, it's times that like when I feel old, too!
... when I begin to wonder if my favorite hairstyle - pigtails - is making me look pathetic instead of cute and quirky
... when I was telling other bees about my navel piercing I got in 1992! (and also that back then, navel piercings were actually still considered unique and weird)
@CountryGirl80: Oh my gosh! I remember that song. I remember the video on MTV! lol
@Wonderwoman217: Pearl Jam is Classic Rock now? WHATT?!!!
@RR: Did you ever notice how every member of CMB looked like another celebrity? One looked like Vanilla Ice, another George Michael, Kenny G and Eddie Murphy. Just sayin...haha!
someone already mentioned the whole "classic rock" thing. But to go along with that, when the radio says "and now for a flash back!" and its a song from when i was in high school....thanks alot radio.
or when my son (he's 6) sees an ad on tv where you can buy older movies like gone with the wind on dvd and he says "hmmm is that what movies looked like when you were little mom? it looks old to me". wtf. really?! gone with the wind was made in 1939!!!!!!!
or when you recieve an invite on facebook from your 12 year old cousin to attend their 21st birthday bash. Yep and they are really turning 21. I swear i still thought he was in high school at most. that was a bad moment.
@tksjewelry: Haha! THAT is music!? Oh man, every DAY. It's just so awful these days!
@lovekiss: On that note, when you're a teacher and the PARENTS of your students are YOUNGER than you are. WAAAAAAAAHHHHH :'( (I'm turning 30 in 2 weeks and teach grade 1/2).
I swear, I am one early bird dinner away from shaking my fist and yelling "you damned kids get offa my lawn!" some days, bahaha!
@Juliepants: Thinking the 90s were like 10 years ago is SO me! I don't know where they went so fast!
I often wonder to my husband if I was that annoying in my teen years as we're passing a group of teenagers. That makes me feel really old.
@Juliepants: I always say im gonna be that lady that sits on the porch throwing rocks at the teenagers and yelling "get off my lawn!".
Also, I have found myself calling the little teenagers that get in my way at the mall "little punks". for some reason that makes me feel old.
@stardustintheeyes: You sound like my husband! LOL He gets so annoyed with teenagers in stores. I know he will be the old geezer yelling at those darn kids to get off his lawn. hahahaha
When you bring your teenage niece to see a Twilight movie, and the only male character you find attractive without feeling creepy is Bella's FATHER!! True Story.
