Do I look that old?
March 22nd, 2008
Tonight we were eating pizza for dinner and I noticed that Wayne’s World was on. It was almost over but I thought the kids might enjoy it. I change the channel and the boys start complaining. I tell them that this is a movie from when I was younger. My middle son, the sarcastic smart ass of the bunch, says “It isn’t in black and white, is it?”. Thanks, son. I’m so glad I spent all that time pushing your 9 pound 3 ounce body out without an epidural!
At least he didn’t ask if it was a “silent” movie! That’s old!:)

Didn’t Wayne’s World just come out a few years ago? Yikes - now I feel REALLY old! OMG, I AM a grandma.

90’s does not equal old! I’m not ready for that, yet.

A couple years ago at the dinner table our three sons were yakking about social studies and they were on the “Reagan Era” in school. I told them their mother or I would be happy to help them out and they looked surprised. The eldest asked what would we know about that far back? Their eyes got big as saucers when I said, “Mom and I got married in 1984 right in the middle of the Reagan years.” They looked around the table at each and it was suddenly silent save the noise of cutlery and plate. Needless to say Mom and I have been “ancient” ever since.

During a recent visit to a doctor’s office, one of the nurses asked me if I was my 15 month old’s grandmother. “Are you grandma?” I knew I was having a bad week, but that was particularly harsh. I’m only 36!

I think in kids’ eyes, if you are old enough to be their parent then you are ancient…

PH,
In the nurse’s defense, 36 is a pretty standard age to become a grandparent in the Peoria area.
