You know your getting old when...
You honestly forget how old you are.

I was just having a conversation on the phone and I mentioned how I was 37. When I got off the phone my daughter said, "Mom, you do know you're only 36, right?"

Geeze, the memory is the first thing to to.

1. You see a mother and daughter together
and realize you are attracted to the mother.

3. Heh...exactly.
I consider myself 37, too, even though my birthday isn't until June.

4. I guess we're just making the transition easier.
However, I plan on stopping at 39 for at least five years. Or until someone finds me out. :P

10. And you want to hump the daughter and make slow passionate
love to the mother.....

This is a great age, when the mother and the daughter look so delicious...

I know that's a male CP comment but hey, once in a while you have to let the wild side out......

11. I wonder if that ever happens with my daughter and me.
She's 17 and I'm 38. Do you suppose sometimes I'm the one getting checked out instead of her? :)

The first time it happened to me, freaked me out.

24. Hell yes they are!
I was watching a father and son walk off after a football game this fall. It was the father's butt I was checking out, it was one mighty fine butt, too!

5. Oooh, this is a little story, but...
... I was teaching jr high. And one evening we had a dance. We had to stand by the door and "check in" students (hey! security was tight in the 80's... ha ha).

Well, I was checking in this girl whose name sounded familiar. I had dated a guy with that name. So I said is "so and so" your brother or uncle?

No.

Her dad.


Oh my gawd. He was old enough to have a daughter in 7th grade.

YIIIIKES... that meant I was old enough to....

Oh yeah. I was.
DUH.
What was I thinking... brother? Talk about DENIAL.

6. It's not "getting old," it's a temporary something-else.....
I did exactly the same thing at exactly your age, believe it or not, except my mother was in the room and she said, "No, honey, you're 36 -- I remember, I was there."

This has never happened to me again in the two decades since, so cheer up!!! It must be that being a Sexy Thirty-Something Woman causes individual braincells to misfire occasionally, or something....:hug:

7. Does it help if I am older than you and acutely aware of it?
:D

My daughter was having an argument with her father on my birthday last year (he and I are not together; she was in MN with him on my birthday, and I was here with my husband and my other two children).

She mentioned it was my birthday. He said, "Oh, she's 39." She said, "No, Dad, she's 38." He insisted that I was 39, and that I am ten years younger than he is. She insisted that I was born in 1966 and was therefore turning 38.

She was right, of course. That same visit, he wrote me a check to cover her travel expenses. He spelled my name with a K. I spell it with a C.

27. That's one of my words.
Misusing then and than is another. If you read me here you'll notice I do it all the time. I know better, yet it happens. :P

13. When I was in the Hospital this past summer
I was pumped full of adivin and morphine, weird dreams I had must say...

Anyway, for a whole day I was trying desperately to call Mrs. WC Green on the remote control....

All I ended up doing was pissing off the nurses and aides cause they had to keep checking on me....

Anyway, if you got this far, Mrs. WC Green found a card that says, you guessed it, you know your getting old when you try to make a phone call with the remore.....

14. My wife kept aging me like that.
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 10:26 PM by Osamasux
Rounding up my age by a year, then two, then three. It got to the point where I honestly lost track and had to stop and figure out how old I really was. I finally got her to stop by explaining that I was aging fast enough on my own, I didn't need any help!

23. You take off your glasses
then get distracted by some small, inconsequential thing - like turning around - then you forget where you put them.

"Let's see, I was walking to the kitchen - then I took them off - then when I did the other thing I didn't have them. So they must be right... no, they're not there either...."
