You run around someone's lawn to feel young.

Nothing makes you feel older than a parent dying.  Nothing.  I could go bald tomorrow and still not feel the same way.

I guess I wouldn't agree, but I lost my mother when I was a teenager.  She wasn't old herself.

I've been going grey since I was in middle school, but I still let the whippersnappers run around on my lawn.  One day I'm going to snap though.

I wouldn't agree either, and I lost my father when I was six.

My hair is still it's normal caramel color.

I usually just yank my nose hairs out. It's sadistically pleasing.

Well you're not the only one.

I lost my mother less than a year ago, but it didn't make me feel any older.  I have felt ancient since I was a little kid.  People used to comment to my parents that I reminded them of their parents when I was younger.  Some guy thought I was in my 30's when I was 15.  I was going to a movie and he didn't card me (R movie) and when I asked him how old he thought I was he said early 30's.   Talk about feeling old!

Wow... and I felt insulted a few years ago when someone guessed I was 30 -- I would have been about 22. That said, at the time I still used to get ID'd all the time, and was once refused entry to a bar. Guess I must have an odd face to look like a 30 yr old that can't pass for 18...

Now I wish I'd listened to what my mom always told me when I was little.

Yeah, I'm hoping to use mine for a comb over.

My family has always told me what an old soul I am.  People always thought I was my younger sister's mom as a teenager and now that I've lost weight and turned 25 this past weekend I get carded for everything.  Everything.  I see my similarly aged friends as children.  Guess I just grew up too fast but my face hasn't caught up.

I used to just not like the music the young'ns were listening to. Now I despise it.

What's worse is the shame you feel for liking music made by younger people (like in their early 20s) - you run the risk of appearing to be the middle-aged person desperately trying to look 'hip'. Same with clothes. I don't like the smurf-wear some kids wear these days, but I bought some of those 'shelf' camisoles, and I love 'em! I'm still an 8, so it isn't like stuff is slopping out from underneath.

Seeing Playboy Playmates turn from being the unapproachable older women, to "hey! she's my age!", to "damn, she's just a kid!".

So true.

The music the kids are listening to today is just noise, noise, noise.

Almost 90% of it is noise.  Gahh, that makes me feel old saying that.    Damn kids and their racket.
