You know you're getting old when…
your kid looks old.
your kids talk about you behind your back with the exact same, accurate, comments you made about your parents.
you think that if someone is "gay", that means they're happy.
you turn on the Grammy awards, and never heard of anyone who's on there!.. Plus you don't consider anything they're playing to be music.
you still like Ike.
you're still arguing about who's better--Berra, Campanella, or Westrum.
90% of the people you ever heard of are dead.
some kids says to you, "Hey, did they have computers, Go-peds, Walkmans, and rollerblades when you were alive?".
they start calling you "sir", or even "Pops".
you turn on the TV news, hoping to see John Cameron Swayze and his Timex watch.
the main person you don't remember anything about from High School, is yourself!
You realize that in 1959: There were not 50 states. A computer took up a whole building, and no-one you knew had a clue how to work one. Cars were made by The Big 3-and only rich people had a foreign car. Nobody would be caught dead owning Japanese made stuff, which was "junk"."Drugs" meant something a doctor prescribed. The phone company meant AT & T-period. Cars were supposed to be two-tone, with lots of chrome. A 40 yr. old guy was old-something we never intended to be. There was nutty talk of someday sending a guy to the moon. The biggest problem on a TV sitcom, was Ricky Nelson trying not to hurt the feelings of the girl he'd rather not take to the prom.
Finally, you know you're getting old when
you realize this may be your last reunion… So you better
