What Makes You Feel Old? #2

I said ‘Good moaning’ to a colleague in her 20’s. She didn’t get it I hope you lot do!!

Had a young 20 something tell me today about the incredible service she had discovered “ it’s called a milkman and they bring you milk! It’s in cute glass bottles and they leave it on your doorstep and I get two pints every other day but you can get more if you want it’s great”

she was so excited and enthusiastic as I felt the crushing weight of my age descending

Realising the attractive shelf replenisher at the supermarket helped you get that top shelf item not because you're young and sexy but because you're OLD

My parents are war babies who had me later in life. My 10 y/o is currently doing WW2 in class and she told the (very young) teacher that her grandparents were born during the war and they told her not to be so daft .

I would actually correct the teacher about that. I had an incident with my daughter when she was about 8 or so where the teacher dismissed something she said about our family. I went in the next morning and told her she was wrong, it had happened and my daughter was 100% correct.

My favourite story about stuff like this is Henry Caville's nephew told his class his Uncle was Superman. This was not believed so Henry took him to school.

Just watching the music channel Now 70's and all the adverts are for tena pads and erectile disfunction gel

It could be worse, the channels my dad watches are all funeral plans and orthopaedic chairs.

I'm back. We watched Wonka today and the kids we're saying 'oh it's that old guy from Paddington' (about Hugh Grant). I'm thinking oh no no it's actually dashing cad about town Daniel Cleaver .

It's awful the teacher would be so dismissive.
It's surely not so unbelievable that a 10 year old could have grandparents who are in their late 70s/early 80s?!
My children are older now, but I'm 51 (so could still be the parent of a 10 year old) and not only was my mum born during WW2, my dad actually fought in the war! (and his father was a Marine in WW1).

Anytime music from the 90s come on and I realise that is the equivalent of my parents music in the 70s for my kids( if that makes sense). Will Smith Men in Black came on the radio, that song is 25 years old!

My brother was asking me if I knew how old Andy Summers the guitarist was from The Police. Then before I could guess he said 82, 82!!!!!!
WTF!!???!!!!!!!!

I was at the dentist having an x ray and realised nobody asked me beforehand if there was any chance I could be pregnant!

Ailments and the amount of medication needed these days! My husband has one of those pill organiser boxes and we’re always asking each other things like ‘how’s your back today?’ People at work being young enough to be your son/daughter, or occasionally grandchildren! Not understanding technology and having to get your adult children to set things up. Attending more funerals than weddings. While you’re at work, counting the hours until you can be back on the sofa under a blanket

I'm really into 90s music at the moment. Can't believe it was 25-30 years ago this stuff came out! (Spice Girls, B Witched, etc)

I think the 90s is the best decade for music.
