Old

You know you're getting old when...

  • You mention Babe Ruth and your kid asks you, "They still make that candy bar?"
  • You listen to talk radio more than regular radio
  • You think you should be hosting the talk radio show
  • You sprain your ankle reaching for the toilet paper
  • You put your glasses on so you can see
  • You take your glasses off so you can eat or read
  • You have no idea where the hell your glasses are
  • You discover you're wearing them
  • Sexy underwear is anything with color
  • You stopped watching the 10 pm news because it was waaaaaay past your bedtime
  • You wonder why McDonald's hasn't caught on to the "senior menu" idea yet
  • At breakfast, something snaps, crackles, and pops, but you're eating French toast
  • I dawns on you that eating Hot Pockets has the same symptoms as the bird flu
  • You stop doing everything that is bad, but you still feel like crap
  • You can't seem to recall when your memory started failing
  • You say things like, "Nowadays"...a lot
  • You try to justify your position by saying, "50 years old is different than it once was"
  • You ask your kid to turn down the music while you turn up the volume on the T.V.
  • You stopped watching the 7 am weather because it was waaaaay before you awoke
  • Flea markets are cool
  • You say, "I remember when", but the story cuts off because you really can't
  • A HUGE party is held at your house, and no one in the neighborhood notices
  • You get called 'mister' more times than you would prefer

You're getting even older when...

  • Your kids are close to moving away, and suddenly it's not as good an idea as you once thought it was
