When someone asks how old I am, I tell them: "Approximately 1,734,480,000 seconds old." If they really want to know, they can do the math.

You have to grow old, but you don't have to grow up.
However, when a 54 y/o fights with his 15 y/o son, you have to throw up.
Served the little creep right.

I was checking out at a store tonight and was asked, "Are you a Senior?" I asked "What constitutes a senior?" The answer was 55. Being that I just turned 52, I declined the 15% discount.
This was only the 2nd time I've been asked this. I'm not used to it at all, and don't appreciate it much.
It wasn't that long ago that people were guessing my age at 6 to 8 years lower than it was. I have almost no wrinkles and I'm told all the time that my hands look like the hands of someone in their 30s. Two women at work are quite jealous of them. But my hair turned gray on me so now I'm seen as much older. If I dyed it, I'm sure I could pass for no more than 45.

Hmm, IF one of the youngsters ever does get ahead of me, I am just going to say. "I have several laps on you, you had better catch up!"

I have the fortunate ability to utterly ignore my age ... until my ratbag son (14) reminds me of it. Luckily, the old adage that 'rat cunning and experience will always defeat youth and enthusiasm' still works for me ... and I intend to enjoy every day until it no longer does

One really nice thing about getting older is that it takes less to make you happy. For a youngster, the car they have, if they will get into college, and many other things can either make or break their day.
