* A 5th grader really is smarter than you, so you watch the show to prove them wrong!
* You finally make it on the show Survivor and their is a 92% chance you'll be voted off first for being the oldest!

* You have to scoot forward and use your arms to help yourself off the chair or couch!
* Having sex you choose to be on the bottom to look younger, oppose to having your face fall on your partner! (try it with a mirror ladies...it's frightening!)

*Your waiter asks if you would like to see the Senior's Menu!
*You buy your first Moo-Moo because it makes you look skinny! (plus you can be naked underneath it)
*You think the hottest actor of today is old enough to be your kid! or you could be arrested for statutory rape!

*You know you're one day closer to death's door not the lottery!
*That whisker on your chin now has a friend!
*You finally realize you've been in a Mid-Life Crisis for the last 20 years!
*You start searching on eBay for a Tennis Ball Machine cause you can't throw the ball far enough for your dog!
*Your dog's breath is better than yours in the morning now!

  1. Oh this is soooo true, this and the next post, so painfully true. Bits of me have fallen, sunken and now dribble shamefully. Getting old is NOT the thing to do, but it does. I'm knocking at 60's door *glancing at walking stick hanging on wine rack* and I wonder what happened to the man who climbed mountains, went to war as a child and came back a man, climbed Winya Wayna to get a better look at Machu Picchu, used to walk 15 hours to town because there were no roads in the jungle; all just memories, but memories that I cherish.

    The fountain of youth is a myth, I pity those who try to find it through implants and botox, they haven't faced the reality of life.

  2. LOL you are very funny!!! The one about going to a club and not being asked for ID rings true with me - especially when your friends still get asked! Gutted.
