We will be talking and I will mention some movie, such as Top Gun, and they are like, "Whats that about?". That's when I start to well up a little and the tears reach the corner of my eye.
"You have never heard of Top Gun?!" And they reply, "Is that the one with the planes?"
Yes Top Gun the one with the "planes". You know the one where Tom Cruise is still just a young guy.
It is really bad when I make a famous movie quote like, "Wax on Wax off" and they look at me like are you nuts?! I might be nuts but they are really should know these kinds quotes, shouldn't they?!
Another thing is when we start talking about old tv shows they talk about Full House as an old show. Then I mention an old show like Charles in Charge and they are like HUH?? Why do they like to torture me soooo??!!!
OK so I graduated in 1997 and my class just had its TEN YEAR REUNION. When I first heard about the planning of it I was in denial of it being ten years. I finally came to grips until once again the teens came a knocking. They pointed out that they were between the ages of 5-8
when I graduated high school. UGH!! Seriously do they really need to point that out to me. They like to tell me how "old" I am by saying, "You're 28, that is soooo old!!" Really, since when is 28 OLD?!
Anyone that knows me, knows that I am usually the one who likes to be the jokester of the group! This is my way of staying young is
to just always making people laugh and smile! But when the teens like to point out my elder status to them. That's when I let loose and really let them hear how stupid they sound. I tell them that they really must seem old to the youngest group coming into our teen group, especially the Seniors! See our teen group starts with 6th graders are like 6-7 years younger than them!!So I really am that old? I know what you older readers are thinking, "Hell no your not old!!!"
But when you are around people that can't even remember my child memories because they were not alive to remember them!! That's what can make you feel old! But I still am a Toys"R"Us kid at heart and always will be!!

Ya know what creeps me out? And the only time I really start feeling old?
I remember when my mom was 29. And I thought she was SOOO ancient. I actually remember her 30th bday party and thinking I couldn't believe how old she was.
And here I am...less than a year away from that same fateful day.
Sorry mom! You really weren't that old ;-)
