You know you’re getting old when…
Well, I had such a nice response to that piece (read it here). Many people suggested others and I thought of a few myself.
You know you’re getting old when…
– You still refer to new record releases as “albums”.
– The thermal socks and long johns come out earlier every year.
– You know that ‘long johns’ are not just donuts!
– You remember those little wax bottles with pop inside.
– You really don’t want that next Birthday to arrive quickly.
– Your definition of winter sports is balancing on the ice and snow so that you don’t fall.
– You have had blocks of ice delivered to your house for your fridge.
– You used to have to get up out of the chair to change TV channels.
– You knew the names and stats of every member of your favourite hockey team.
– You hesitated to ask what the heck ‘Bluetooth’ is.
– You watch a recent video, fairly new, of one of your favourite ‘oldies’ bands… and they all look like your grandfather!
– Many of your former students are bald, gray and have grandchildren of their own!
– You go to funerals now… never weddings.
