Officially Old
A couple of weekends ago, Mike & I were going grocery shopping when we noticed two groups of kids standing on opposite street corners.....attempting to sell boxes of donuts to drivers trapped at the stop lights for some organization or another. Now bear in mind the streets at that particular intersection are 6-8 lanes wide, and the intersection has one of the highest rates of auto accidents in the entire county.
As we carefully drove past them, I muttered "I can't believe their parents are letting them do that. Damn kids are a traffic hazard."
A few seconds later it hit me, and I buried my head in my hands. "Oh no!" I cried. "I can't believe I just said that. I AM SO OLD!"
Mike cackled and replied "Damn kids! Get off my lawn!"
I'm starting to think my sister was right. The older we get, the more we're both becoming like our mother.
NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
If you'll excuse me, I'll go start looking for a nursing home.

It all hits us at some point and then we cry into our bran flakes... ;)

I am afraid it's true!

There are 3 signs you are getting old.
1 is that the music you like is on the "oldies" station in town.
2 is that you think the music kids listen too is just a lot of noise.
I can't remember what the 3rd sign is.

All sad but true.
Mike was teasing me once and said one day we'd get so old we'd forget to have sex, that he'd be like "We were gonna do something today, but I can't remember what it was."
I told him by that time, my reply would be "You're kinda cute. What's your name?"
