When your doctor and dentist are younger than you.
I went to the dentist a few years ago, and I was telling him that a band was put on my tooth as a temporary measure twenty years ago, when I was 30yo. I then said to him "Um, how old were you twenty years ago?" and he replied "11 years old." 😫

When you find a valentines card from a kid that was in your 2yr old day care class and look him on on FB. I THINK I found the right one, and it freaks me out! LOL He’s approximately 23. That’s just nuts.
Also, the girl that was 5 weeks old when we met our new neighbors at our first house is now married.
Sheesh!
The oldest AND middle child of our college best friends (we met when we were 17/18) are both married and at least one has a baby.

When DS was in high school, one of his football coaches passed away. I asked how old the coach was. DS said, I don't know, but he's pretty old. The article in the local newspaper said the coach was 2 years younger than me. I then whacked DS over the head with that paper.

When you realize that everyone on the message board you’ve been on for 20+ is young enough to be your kid (and in some cases, your grandchild!). (And yet, for some inexplicable reason, here I am).

When a younger coworker comments that you are “spry!” I told her I would throat punch her if she ever uttered the s-word again. (And I can and do outwork her, even if I am old….)

I know I posted this before but...
When you realize your elderly pest control guy graduated high school with you. My DH and I had discussed how sad it was to see such an elderly man was doing a such physical job.
Or when you just get back from dr and she delicately says my shoulder pain could be from age.

You go to your County Park's free concerts to see bands like The Dazz Band and The Spinners, and all the people there are OLD. And, you realize that they really aren't much older than you are.
And, they aren't dancing. They are sitting in their folding chairs drinking wine coolers and eating charcuterie.

When you are intrigued by a post with a solution to hot flashes, and find your self rolling you eyes at the shorts that some clothing brand think that any woman or girl could wear. I think that I'm liberal with clothing choices but even I felt myself reaching for some pearls. 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/140375/more-suffering-hot-flashesDang it they’re sold out!! 😢 🤪

When music you listened to as a teen is now elevator/instrumental music. When they card you and look for 19xx as your year of birth and pass you through without looking at the rest of the numbers. When you realize the 80's was 40 years ago. Hush. The 80s were 20 years ago and always will be. Hahaha yup
