...and I'd like to conclude by putting my finger up my nose.
it seemed to have hit me most in work when we hire the 20 to 25 year old...before i learn his age we're kidding around talking sports and in my mind at that time it's just a couple of young dudes hanging out...but then their birthday comes up and their turing 22 and then I realize I'm 18 years older...
Wait until you start walking around saying"Ya know 20 years ago I used to....".Then you will remember how you hated to hear that same expression from any old fart in your past.
I'm not old yet either...Gvac you old fart!
Actually it hit me when I started school again...I hadn't heard of incubus or system of a down. It was sad.
when
1 - girls in playboy were born in the 80's
2 - they play a song from my highschool days on the "oldies" station, and then I realize - hey that song came out 18 YEARS ago
It was this summer actually. Up in Yonkers, at Nathan's, every Thursday night there is bike night. Everybody just hangs out, does a little riding and a lot of racing.
So, there I was, going full throttle on the Hutchinson River Pkwy, neck and neck with this total squid, and all of the sudden it hit me that this probably wasn't such a bright idea.
As long as it was fun, that had always been reason enough to be doing almost anything, but right there, that night, commen sense prevailed.... and I actually felt like a guy in his 30's as I downshifted and rode safely back to Yonkers.
I've had a constant onslaught of reminders to drive the point home-
-my first ma'am
-the first time I didn't get proofed
-having my son ask me if we had electricity when I was a child
-when my older aunts are talking about their operations, I now find myself joining in
-being at the hospital with my little sister and having the doctor think I was her mom-I'm 13 years older than her so that wasn't SO bad except my dad was there too and he's 61 and looks it.
