Getting arthritis.
Seeing the first few silver hairs in my beard.
Watching a football game and realizing that I was older than every player on the field.
Yelling at neighbor kids to turn the damn music down...if you can call it "music."
Realizing I'm now older than my parents were when I graduated from high school.
Recently playing an old Space Invaders arcade game and discovering that I was still good at it.

Getting skin tags. JOINING AARP. (Which I never did.) Can't drink milk. Can't remember something told you yesterday. Who the hell was John Lennon?
I could go on forever, but my first memory of geting older was when I legally got my first drink in a bar. It was a good thing!
OH! And when your clock is running faster than all the other clock's in the world.

When your parents stop reminding you to "be careful" re: contraception and start asking when you'll give them grandchildren.

I live in fear. I'm getting close to the age where I should go get these every other month or so...

Yes!

When "I've fallen and I can't get up" isn't funny anymore.

When you buy a car based on where it falls in the Consumer Reports "Repair History" column.

When someone calls you grandma, and is corrected: "No honey, AuntiePam's your great grandma."

When a kid you babysat shows up in the obituaries.

When you have to ask someone to explain the latest catchphrases.
