2. Well, I'm only 22, but ...
The other day, I caught myself saying 'in my day' to my younger cousin. That's when it hit me.

I guess it's happening early for me. ;)

57. I felt REALLY old and nasty for leering at a kid from a program my daughter watches.
I feel like a real cradle robber because I realized this guy I was leering at in Blood Ties was in some Disney Movie my ten year old daughter watched and loved. He played a HIGH SCHOOL aged boy who was Raven's boyfriend!!!

Eek!

I was training a young woman (eighteen at the time), and she noticed the framed photo of The Beatles from the Sgt. Pepper era hanging in my office.

Glancing at the picture and then looking at me, she asked, "Are those your brothers?"
