You know you are getting old when:

You've outlived so many of your body parts and realize they're not under warranty.

I tell people (who are younger than I am) to take care of their bodies because replacement parts -- if they exist! -- are very expensive and don't work as well as the originals.

You know you are 'getting' old when your kid tells you, "Dad, I'm going to retire in December."

 

[notabitail]

You remember begging to eat with a fork like the big kids did and all of a sudden a spoon seems like a good idea because less food falls off of a shaky spoon than a shaky fork.

How about a spork?

You know you're getting old when your back hurts and the next door neighbor says you're old.

Bedtime is 7:30 and you look forward to at least two good naps a day.

Tell that guy to get off your lawn!

Tell that guy to get off your lawn!

Nah, she's real nice. Old, but really nice. I'm gonna really miss her when she moves.

You've seen every house on your block turn over with new people at least three times because all the "old" people died and were replaced with those loud, crying things that crawl, yell and scream with high pitched voices that move so erratically they scare the most confident dogs! Love kids.

I've started seeing lots of smaller children around here on my bike rides. I'm not old (unless you count computer years. Then I'm obsolete).
