Getting older is an unavoidable fact of life. And, while some people may say that “age is just a number,” it’s really not.
Although, that doesn’t mean that you can’t grow older with a smile on your face and while having a little bit of fun. To prove this, here are 16+ people who aren’t getting any younger!

“With my 41st birthday approaching, this hits close to home.”
Another person suffering from the tide of time’s influence added, “I spent more than an hour researching before purchasing some New Balance shoes today. The old skate shoes just don’t support my old man joints the way I need them to at work.”
“My 6-year-old kid wanted to be 100 years old for her 100th day of kindergarten.”
The hair and the face makeup are absolutely incredible, I feel like I can hear her complaining about the queues in the post office through the screen!
“My great grandma celebrated her 100th birthday in true Irish Catholic fashion, with a piñata full of whisky.”
Okay, so she may not be getting any younger, but she clearly knows how to spend a birthday better than most young people I know!
“The 11-year-old who made this card gets life.”
I especially love the little moustache that they give him once he gets old enough! Also, I’d be worried about how this kid knows precisely how close they are to death.
“My 30-year-old brother (fully cognitive) made this for my mom last Mother’s Day.”
Making your parents something like this as a way to feel more in touch with your childhood doesn’t work, trust me. That macaroni pasta artwork I made my mother last year just made me feel older as I came to grips with how bad I am at any crafting stuff.
“My dad likes reading so I got him a Kindle for is birthday. He’s using it as a bookmark.”
Some people just much prefer the real thing when it comes to reading…and by “some people,” I mean everyone. In a similar vein, another person added, “I bought my mother a Nintendo DS for xmas so she could play the brain training games and she keeps forgetting how to turn it on.”
Adulthood 101…
In fairness, this is a high tax rate, so when this kid actually gets hit with government taxes they’ll be pleasantly surprised with how little they have to pay!
“(Forty)Three-year-old me, getting that AT-AT I’ve been wanting since I was two.”
Just remember, an AT-AT needs plenty of water and to be fed a healthy, daily amount of rebel scum.
“My friend was at the airport, and this old French woman didn’t give a crap.”
I one day aspire to give this little of a rat’s ass about other people! Truly, this woman is an inspiration…the worst sort of inspiration, but an inspiration nonetheless.
“My dog is very old now and she gets all tuckered out on walkies…so my parents bought her a bag to sit in.”
I wish that someone would buy me a bag that I could be carried around in! What kind of life is it where I have to actually use my legs to, y’know, walk!
“My mother made me the 2-year-old outfit and the 39-year-old outfit.”
I’m struggling to tell which is the baby picture and which is the adult picture as he has hardly changed at all!
“My 23-Year-Old Brother Decided To Shave His Hair And Beard So That He Could Look Like An Old Man…”
The fact that this guy is actually 23 has eroded my faith in absolutely everything. What even is reality any more?
“A 4-year-old at my school just told me they liked my minion costume. These are just my clothes.”
The day that you start inadvertently dressing like a minion is the day that you truly become an ageing hipster.
“Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.”
I wonder how protective that clothing actually will be if they come flying off? These are the sorts of things you worry about when you are an old git.
“It was my dad’s birthday today but we didn’t have the right numbers so we got creative.”
“Oh, thank you so much.”
“It says ‘old’ because you’re…”
“I get the point. Thank you.”
“Sweet old man at the beach: ‘Would you like me to take a photo of you two love birds?’ My wife: ‘Yes please!’ Nailed it.”
This is infinitely more enjoyable a photo than it would have been had he just taken a normal one!
“My 13-year-old nephew turns into a 70-year-old when he eats it while skateboarding!”
That is one hell of a moment that this person managed to capture. That single second saw him age exponentially! Perfect timing!
“Do you want younger looking eyes?”
“My, Grandmother, what…googly-looking eyes you have!”
“All the better to see you with, my dear! Come a little closer so you can hear them rattle around when I shake my head!”
“Every year on my birthday I go to the Smithsonian and punch the same statue. Today marks half a decade!”
I like the idea that every year, that statue sees him coming and thinks, “Bugger, here we go again…”
