Oh yeah, and your ties are old enough to buy beer now.
[sub]Hit reply too soon AND screwed up the coding. Me, Old? What’s that? Speak up![/sub]
That would be a great-great-aunt. 
…you forgot that somebody else started an identical thread nine days ago.
When a young’un mentions “USS Enterprise”, and one whippersnapper recalls Captain Picard when the first young’un meant Captain Kirk. Then you realize you watched the original Star Trek episodes on TV when they first came out in the 1960’s.
Or when the whippersnapper meant Captain Archer, the whippersnapper’s parent thought the kid meant Picard. The parent’s older brother thought he meant Kirk. And you initially thought he was talking about The Big “E.”
When you fall down and nobody laughs.
“Oh my god! Are you alright, Sir?”
I guess I’m not * that* old, but a guy told me today that his favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers song was “Higher Ground”. I said “A cover?” He had never heard of the Stevie Wonder version.
I get grumpy if I’m not in bed by 9:30.
Damn kids with their loud music, keepin’ me up till all hours of the night.
When you have “senior moments” and begin to forget things.
So, in answer to the OP, yes I do sleep in the nude.
When a kid about waist-high asks you for the time and ends with “ma’am”.
When people stop asking you when will you get married (just yesterday a friend of Mom’s reminded me on the phone that “there ain’t no such thing as a perfect man, young woman! Go and get you a decent one!”, but heck, she’s ancient; everybody else has given up).
When people ask you for verification on Trivial Pursuit answers because “this must’a been about your time”.
When teens hear you and an old classmate reminiscing about your sex-discrimination fights in school and claim it’s absolutely impossible and you’re exagerating, and the two of you look at each other and asy “aaah, young kids nowadays, they don’t know how nice they have it, the little fuckers, no respect for their elders” (mind you, we musn’t be completely mummified, since we broke into giggles).
…when pillow talk after sex involves the latest cute thing your grandbabies have done …
sigh

When, a few years back, your older son got the action gun that looks like Luke Skywalker’s. It makes noise.
and #2 son’s friend comes over and tells you that you must be wrong–that that gun cannot be from Star Wars, because it’s not in the 3 movies that he is familiar with (he’s 8).
Oy.
<sigh>
When you and your best friend used to get on the phone and talk excitedly about you found a really great new bar, with excellent music and tons of cute guys and cheap drinks.
And now you realize that you and your best friend get on the phone and talk excitedly about how you found a really great new podiatrist.
…you admire rocks in your in-law’s yard.
…that you’re excited about the features of a new washer/dryer that you’re purchasing.
…that you don’t recognize half or more of the band names anymore (this really makes me feel old)
…that you happily discuss the pros and cons of certain types of grass seed and compare lawns with neighbors.
What’s that? COLD!!??!! Why it’s damn near ninety! Tarnation! :mad:
You open up this thread to get off a great quip, and by the time you scroll this far down, you got nothing.
Nothing, I tell you.
For the first time in my life, I have a doctor who is younger than I am.
The newest attorney in my office was BORN the year I graduated from high school.
I need my reading glasses to hook my front-hook bras.
I remember when "safe sex" meant that you were careful not to fall off the bed ("that was great- what was your name again?").When you are training a new hire and discover that she’s the youngest child of someone you graduated with from High school. (Me.)
When you find out that you are older than the mother of your new supervisor. (My husband.)
When your bones pop and crack so bad that that the nursing home resident you are taking care of not only HEARS it but asks if you need help up from a squatting position.
