39 years, 7 months, 1 day, which seems about right because in some ways I feel I should at least be 65 by now and in others I’m looking forward to when I’m a grown up. I remember on my 19th birthday a 48 year old man- friend of the family- said “Oh Lord what I wouldn’t give to trade with you…” and I told him “I’d take it”, and I was absolutely serious because for some reason as a teenager I wanted to be older. Age never bothered me in the slightest until I was 31 and it occurred for some reason that “Every dog that was alive when I was born is now dead”. Birthdays that bothered me the most: 20, 31 and 34 [the last because it meant I was officially “older than God” if you count Jesus as God and 33 as his final age.) [QUOTE=samclem] I’m 62 next month, and have a daughter who was 13 this past March. [/QUOTE] Of course if your wife ever finds out you have a 13 year old daughter she’ll make you feel really old. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=mrald] I still don’t get how both our 22nd birthdays are only a month apart and we were born in two different years. [/QUOTE] You weren’t, ducky: **Miss Purl** ’s post said that “1983 must have been a loving time for a lot of people’s parents here,” it didn’t say that she was _born_ in 1983. Don’t fret, it appears that you were both born in 1984. 🙂 ---
