I lie about my age. There, I've admitted it out loud and online. It's not that I think I'm fooling anyone, it's that in my head I'm still closer to 20 than 40. So I tell people that I'm 27 and I'm keeping my real age to myself. But every now and then it dawns on me that I'm not as young as I think I am. You may have had a few of these moments yourself.
You know you're not as young as you think you are when..........
Did I miss your sign for how you knew you're not as young as you think you are?
You know you're not as young as you think you are when..........
- You realize that almost all the professional athletes are younger than you.
- The waiter pissed you off last night when he called you ma'am (or sir)
- The same waiter laughs when you ask him if he needs to see your ID.
- If you've ever said, "when I was younger" or "back when I was a kid"
- The thought of going out at 11pm seems ridiculous since that's past your bedtime now.
- You've said to someone "I could never drink as much as I used to"
- The garage fridge is for extra milk and sodas not beer.
- And speaking of milk, you buy six gallons at a time without any fear that it will expire.
- You pick up a People magazine and you don't recognize half the celebrities in it.
- (This one is from my mom) You say "Hey, who's that old lady in the mirror?"

LOL! I had a similar experience this past weekend when I realized that everywhere I went people where younger than me and I thought when did this happen? At least I work with older adults, so they still think I am young.
