I start yelling at my kids and the words coming out are just a bunch of unintelligble syllables. And call them by the wrong name.

When you catch yourself yelling at the TV (or radio) when LSU is playing (any sport).

Are you sure you and I aren’t the same person?

I am approaching 73 and, as a kid, heard “shut the door” often if we lingered. Flies and skeeters would get in if we lingered.

Dad would tell us to be quick at the fridge and turn off the lights and don’t waste water.

I still turn lights off behind people and close exterior doors quickly from habit.

We have some French doors out back that open to a covered breezeway. My wife and kids were horrible about leaving the door open during the summer until we got a snake in the house

The instant I had a second child their names have become interchangeable.

I distinctly remember thinking, “how can my dad possibly get my name confused with my brother’s”. It’s genetic and natural.

Actually, it's when you stop plucking the ear hairs

Bifocals are sweet. I tried those fancy transition lenses, but I couldn't get used to them. I felt like I was moving my head around as much as an Indian.

With bifocals I just move my eyes up and down without missing a beat. It's a lot easier to get used to.

I entered the doctor's office and the receptionist said,
"Hello sweetie, are you feeling bad today?"
This was followed by a young frat looking guy entering and her saying, "May I help you?"

That was followed by a man about my age entering and her saying," Hello honey , what brings you in today"

It will happen to you 39 years olds one day soon.

When I watch reruns of movies and TV shows from the 60s and 70s and the women who played the grandmothers look hot.

56 here and this where I am. When I go to a LSU game i certainly do notice the gorgeous young coeds and appreciate them. But it is the Mom / Milfs that get the blood flowing

When I get invited to a dinner party, but frozen pizza, drinking at home whilst watching a 90s action flick is more appealing.

Ive gotten to where I love the sound of the birds early in the morning. It just clicked one day, never thought about it prior.

I’m 63 in August and I have definitely not hit that point yet.
