When my youngest (10 years old) asked me what was it like growing up in the Victorian times, he was being serious......I'm 50 this year haha.
My kids are a similar age and refer to my childhood as "the olden days".
"Mummy did you have phones in the olden days?"
My nephew is 17 now, but when he was about 3 or 4 he came out with a couple to his grandmother including:
"Nana, was it scary when you were small because of all the dinosaurs?"
"Nana, when was colour?" Followed by his grandmother asking him, "When was colour what?", and his reply of "When you were small, everything was black and white so when was colour?"

When I buy alcohol and the cashier, who looks like a child, doesn’t even ask me for ID anymore
Working a 13 hour day.

Someone who attended primary school with my younger sibling was my Dr at a hospital a few years back
Talking to my 14 year old stepson and him saying Bradley Cooper is an old man now. I said he’s not old, he’s mid 40’s.
“Yeah, old”.
I mean, I’m 32 but I still don’t want to be considered old in 14 years

)Forgetting what year it is (which has become worse in lockdown as 2020 basically didn't happen) and forgetting my own age
Hearing Lionel Richie Glastonbury set on the radio yesterday. They said it was from 2015. I thought, ‘Great, I was there that year’. Then realised it was the 2005 Glasto I attended.
When someone on the internet says “omg this [movie/song/TV show/book] was my entire childhood, now I feel SO old” and you realise that you were a fully fledged adult when said movie/song/TV show/book was released.
No mate, I’m the one who feels old now.

I feel old every time we get a Sainsbury delivery and it's one of those cute wee boys and I think, "Why are they letting a child drive their van around the country?" until I realise they're actually about 25 
Doing the garden and every part of my body aching 
Firstly if I ever get to go away on holiday again .. I will have to ensure that the bathroom is shower only. I can climb in probably clamber out of a bath but have the chilling thought of being stuck therein for the whole of my holiday

I watch a lot of "thrift with me" videos on YouTube, so many of the girls who show their thrift finds are like "look at this gorgeous VINTAGE lamp, this VINTAGE blouse", etc and it's tat from the 90s that I had Also on Instagram young teens/early 20s fashionistas are rocking the beaded bracelet with alphabet beads, pony beads etc, acting like they are some new discovery.
In my head, my younger siblings are still the age they were when I left home for university... which was 13 years ago, so when their birthdays come up I'm in disbelief that thay are no longer 15
