You might be getting old if
your six-year-old comes in the room and asks how old you are.
After a moment to remember (cue irony music), I say, "34."
"Oh. Man." Sits down in a humph.
"What's wrong with 34?"
"Nothing. It's I just thought I'd read really far in this book, but I'm only to page 32. I haven't made it to 34 yet!"
Yes. You know your old when your age, in page numbers, is just too far for your 6-year-old to read.
And, it's even better when your 8-year-old chimes in, "Don't worry. You're almost to Daddy. He's only 33. That's closer than Mom."
