My age just hit home. I've been called "old" twice this week. Still I haven't considered myself old. Even though Clive was one of the 2 that called me old, you all probably don't really consider me old. However, I had this conversation with my little brother Garrett: (We're in the the kitchen, and he is twirling around in circles while talking to me and counting to ten.) Me: Do you know what comes after 10? Garrett: No Me: 11 comes after 10. Garrett: 11 Me: Yeah.  Do you know what comes after 11? Garrett: No And so on until we get to 21. Okay, now he has repeated 21. Me: Do you know anyone that is 21? Garrett: Na-nee (his nickname for me)  Me: Yeah! As I stood there looking down at him, the difference in our age was just so evident at the moment. I felt older for a second. |

I was in some discount store a few months back. When I went to pay for my purchase, the checkout girl rang me up and gave me a 10% discount. I asked about the discount, since I didn't see any signs. She told me Tuesday was Senior citizen day at their store and that was their discount for seniors.  I'm still 10 years away, I guess I look old. |

I get that "Senior coffee, sir?" bit at McDonalds quite often. If I didn't like their coffee so much I would never go in there. Kids  |

I just turned 50 in January. 21 seems like a long time ago, which it was. Everything is relative. God willing, when I reach 60, 50 will seem young (well maybe not that young.)

I feel my age when you see a young police officer (who still has pimples), and he calls you maam!!!!! I feel like patting him on the head, and saying "Yes Son"!!!!! |

My 85 year-old Mom has been in the hospital for seven weeks and I have been visiting her frequently. I find that when I go to the hospital cafeteria the cashier gives me a 20 percent senior discount. She never asks me how old I am - I turn 65 on March 25 and I guess I look my age.
On the positive side, I get a large styrofoam cup of freshly-brewed Maxwell House coffee for $0.95. Whoopie!!!
