Alright, since we've all hit the Nifty 50's or Super 60's or more, we should be able to have some fun with this. Give a response to this. Let's be lighthearted,😄

Hey! This is an interesting thread. Let's keep it going.
You know you're getting old when:
A nap seems a blessing rather than a punishment (reference, the forceful naps we had to take as a child 😅).
- ...out of several options for leisure, you pick the one that gets you home by 9:30 p.m. if not earlier.
- ...someone calls you "old man" or "ma'am" for the first time. (That happened to me a few weeks ago & I'm still annoyed)
- ...when filling out a form on a website, you get to the field that says "year of birth" & you gotta spin that b**** like you're on Wheel of Fortune!
- ...you tell the above to a young person--& then have to explain what Wheel of Fortune is.
- ...you have a This-Young-Person-Does-Not-Know-What-I'm-Talking-About moment (see above). It can be about anything: a movie, a once-popular singer/actor, an economic recession, anything.
- ...you discover that you don't know the celebrity who's currently involved in a tax audit/nasty divorce/DUI arrest/whatever...& you don't give a jolly d**n who (s)he is or what (s)he's doing, either.
- ...you tell a twentysomething girl your age & she says "that's my dad!"
I could list a few more but I won't...better to give other people here a chance instead.
When, buying chocolates doesn't excites you anymore 😅🫣
You're done with self pity, posturing, and any semblance of pretense. You don't mind using those SAT words you studied for in high school that you never had the chance to use.
@PatienceImpatiens Amen. Once I hit 40, I stopped caring about what other people think of me. We don't have time for that kind of foolishness.

"You know you're getting old when:"
When you reference "Star Wars: New Hope" as being the first movie and you saw it at the theaters when it released
