Thank you for pointing that out, because it made me check on IMDB, and I am older than any of the Golden Girls were when the show started.
And I thought they were old!!!
It’s worse teaching undergrads, because they’re fellow adults – like me, I’m an adult, too – but they’re from a different planet.
At least with children, they’re “supposed” to be a different species – it would never occur you to think otherwise. 
In my latter days in the Navy I had more and more opportunities to say to people “I sailed with your dad.”
This is my daughter! She gets 10:45 but not quarter of eleven. She’s 15 and I keep telling her, you learned it both ways, but she doesn’t seem to recall it. Ahh, the digital age!
Kids no longer get references to things that were pop culture icons for decades, like Gilligan’s island, I Dream of Jeannie, or the original Psycho.
And they only know the bad rip-off reboots of the Brady Bunch, Beverly Hillbillies and Dark Shadows.
Don’t get me started on that abomination of a Dark Shadows reboot, it sends me into a blind rage!
I’m 49 and I get that too. Last time I went to the doctor the conversation went like this:
Doctor’s assistant: “Did you bring a list of the medications you take?”
Me: “No.”
Doctor’s assistant: “Well do you know what they are?”
Me: “I don’t take anything.”
Doctor’s assistant: “You don’t take anything??”
Me: “Um, am I supposed to?”
I got my 1095 B today, and the coverage for my health coverage stopped mid-year. I panicked until I realized the month after it stopped was the month my Medicare started.
I teach Middle School and it makes me feel young. I had an extended conversation with some kids today about Minecraft.
They were all born around 2004 or so. :eek:
The movie Star Wars is older now than The Wizard of Oz was when I was born.
My father has been dead for almost 20 years. Granted, I was 31 when he died, which was sort of young to lose a parent, but it still makes me feel old that my father’s death can vote.
A contestant on Jeopardy! tonight said that her grandmother used to collect Barbie dolls her entire life.
When I was a lad I remember my dad lamenting that when Kennedy was elected, it was the first time he was older than the president.
It was Obama for me.
When the ER doc looks like a high school kid.
What, you were in the Navy during the days of sailing ships? :eek: 
Yeah, I know, the term hasn’t been used that literally for longer than I’ve been alive. (Eisenhower baby. :))
Happened to me back in 2005, when I was a mere 51 years old. When I saw the doc who was examining my wife, all I could think of was the scene in MP&HG where Sir Galahad is getting examined at the Castle Anthrax: “They’re doctors?!” “They have a basic medical training, yes.”
Heck, that was true for me in 1992.
But I was thinking a similar thing about Duck Soup and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I first saw Duck Soup in 1971, 38 years after its theatrical release. This May, it will be 42 years since I first saw MP&HG.
You’re welcome.
I once had this conversation with a child in my checkout lane.
Evan: You look old.
Me: I know.
Evan: Why do you look so old.
Me: Because I am old.
Evan: How old are you?
Evan’s father (curling up with embarrassment) Evan! You do not ask questions like that!
Me: Evan, how old are you?
Evan: Three
Me: Well, how old do you think I am?
Evan thinks a minute: Five?
Me: Yes, I’m five.
