just bearly knew a partial line, Go With Him, then he baddly hummed it.

....phrases like, "When I was your age...." , "In my day...." , "I can remember when....", and so one start popping out of your mouth, along with "Kids these days!"--completely unbidden. The scary thing is, for me, I was in my mid-30s when this started happening!

You're asleep, but others worry that you're dead.
Your back goes out more than you do.
You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
You buy a compass for the dash of your car.
You are proud of your lawn mower.
Your best friend is dating someone half their age... And isn't breaking any laws.
Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper.
You sing along with the elevator music.
You would rather go to work than stay home sick.
You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.
You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
People call at 9 pm. And ask, "Did I wake you?"
You send money to PBS.
The end of your tie doesn't come anywhere near the top of your pants.
You take a metal detector to the beach.
You wear black socks with sandals.
You know what the word equity means.
You can't remember the last time you laid on the floor to watch television.
Your ears are hairier than your head.
You talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn.
You get into a heated argument about pension plans.
You got cable for the weather channel.
You can go bowling without drinking.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

You realize that some of your co-workers were not born yet when you started working at your present employer.
when looking at new cars, you check out the door size rather than the engine size.
you overhear someone talking about "oldies music" and its from the ninties! (or later!!)
The first car you ever drove would qualify for "classic" license plates!

At my work there are parents and children who both fall under this.
I always liked Zazu's line:
"I'm not as old as dirt but I was there when they first mixed it with water to make mud"
:D:
