You know you’re growing old when you …

[elijah23]

… prefer sitting down, to sitting up, when you brush your teeth (like me).

 

[Gordon]

Be positive, you still have teeth to brush. It seems like people either become very grumpy or very kind when they get old. The kindest and grumpiest people I meet are old.

 

[farouk]

..when you're stuck in heavy metal from 25 years ago and can't seem to move on ...

 

[Knotical]

When you find yourself admonishing your parents for something your kids get in trouble for.

 

[farouk]

...when your daughter doesn't want a tattoo precisely because you have one...

 

[faeriecat]

... when you realize the girl you work with is young enough to be your daughter ... and she's already a mama.

 

[Knotical]

When you wake up after a half hour nap and have no idea where you are, even though you are still in your own home.

 

[farouk]

When your son gets bored with the earrings you once gave him.

 

[BornAgain]

Don't have arms long enough to read the paper...

Remember Clint Eastwood as a guest on the Mr. Ed Show

 

[Classik]

...when you struggle or quarrel with a lad over a worthless beer bottle top;)

 

[Fedusenko]

forget to unzip.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

You now know why old people are called 'old farts'.

(If you have to ask...you're not old enough to know yet.)

 

[Jethro Bodine]

forget to unzip.

forget to zip.

Remember Clint Eastwood as a guest on the Mr. Ed Show

When you know what the Mr. Ed show was...period.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

When you wake up after a half hour nap and have no idea where you are, even though you are still in your own home.

Or, when you wake up from your afternoon nap in someone else's home.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

..when you're stuck in heavy metal from 25 years ago and can't seem to move on ...

Or when you say 'album rock' and you get that 'huh?' look as a response.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

...when your daughter doesn't want a tattoo precisely because you have one...

Yeah, I hate when that happens.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

..when you're stuck in heavy metal from 25 years ago and can't seem to move on ...

Or, when you're just stuck and can't move.

We call it the 'I've fallen and I can't get up' syndrome.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

... when you realize the girl you work with is young enough to be your daughter ... and she's already a mama.

Or, when you think the girl you work with is your daughter...and you can't remember her name.
