What moment or life occurrence finally made you "old"? Have you had more than one? Does it get worse each time?

Graduating, first real job, marriage, kids, AARP, adult diapers?

I have never even had a twinge of feeling old until today, when I started looking at engagement rings.

Talk me down here.






In b4 WTF are you doing marriage sux.

When I realized the Jr High football team I was coaching wasn't even born when I played on our league championship team...as a freshman. And that was 7 years ago (when I had the moment). :(

I'm only 28 years old, but I felt really old when I heard Jadeveon Clowney said he never saw MJ play basketball. I was like, wtf? Seriously? How are there people on this earth who've never seen Michael Jordan play basketball?

Not when I had my Daughter. I was 18.

Not when I started going bald. I was 22.

Maybe when I actually needed glasses for the first time and they were bifocals. I think I was 41. Actually I picked them up the same day I met Justin. Maybe that was what made me feel old was Justin was closer to my Daughter's age than mine. Was that 2008 or 2009 Justin? Doesn't matter the bifocals made me feel old.

Actually maybe earlier than that. Early 2000's when I realized all the hot College Chicks I was checking out at Miami of Ohio, while I was driving through, could have went to HS with my Daughter. No that didn't make me feel old , just made me feel like a Perv. :eek:

I haven't really hit it yet.

I knew I'd be going bald, so this baldness I have now isn't making me feel old. It is hard to believe that I have a 10-year HS reunion coming up. But, I still haven't had that feeling yet.

10 year??? Just had my 25th a few years ago. I can remember when my Mom had her 25th reunion. I was a Junior in HS...Thanks for making me feel even older...lol.
