re: Subtle signs that you are starting to get old

Somebody sits you down next to a cake, they put a pointy hat on your head, and for some reason they sing “Happy Birthday”.

Then You drop your first bite of cake into your lap, but you don’t notice.

Dog got out, had to climb/jump fence to go him. Mulled it over, went and got the ladder

I get excited about the weekly publix ad.

I love going to check the mail. I never get anything but junk and bills but I still get excited.

My race becoming more and more a minority.

Playing Oregon trail as a kid in school.

I remember getting the very first Nintendo from Santa.

Wondering where you parked when exiting the store.

- Hit music from your formative years is now used as ambient background noise for grocery stores

Piano versions of the hit music are played as light listening in restaurants

Dinner with ambience=Cracker Barrel’s fireplace.

You remember when there were four TV channels in black and white.

A couple of years ago I used to keep my cell phone on vibrate and kept it in my back pocket. Whenever i felt it vibrate, I would pull it out and answer.

One day I’m in a meeting and feel my chair vibrate. I reach back to pull out my phone and feel nothing but an empty pocket. I then notice my phone was on the table and there was no missed call.

Must have been a fart that I only felt due to the chair vibration.

A couple years back at a parent teacher meeting the teacher mentioned a new student in my kid’s class and suggested we should meet their parents because they’re older parents like us.
