At some point, we have to stop kidding ourselves and realize the inevitable has happened — we’ve officially gotten old.
Despite all our best efforts we’ve somehow turned into the very people we once pitied in our youth; the people we took orders from, who criticized our taste in music, and who frequently told us to “grow up.” Well, now we have, and now we’re the ones who get to do the same thing to people who are younger than us.

But if you’re not sure whether you’re officially old yet, maybe take a look at these quotes and if any really resonate with you…well, there’s your answer.
Back when your knees were just your knees and not a frequent topic brought up at the doctor’s.
I also remember when I could squat down and it didn’t sound like my darn joints were popping out of place. Nowadays I go to pick up something off the ground and people think I need to be rushed to the hospital afterwards.
Oh, the joys of aging.
If you’re lucky, it’s a happy couple of hours.
The happiness quickly fades once I wake up and realize I do not feel refreshed whatsoever. In fact, I usually wake up from naps feeling disorientated, panicked, and sore because the couch pillows definitely didn’t do my neck any favors.
They had five kids and lived in a d**n *mansion*!
When I was younger, I’d watch this movie and admire Kevin’s lethal, yet clever, means of ridding his home of burglars.
Now I watch it and wonder what Mr. McCallister did for work to be able to afford that house, let alone seven tickets to Paris, with two of those being first class seats!
I mean…maybe a *few* times…
Look, if I’m having the girls over for a wine and cheese night, I’m not going to be serving them some $6 brick of mild cheddar from Walmart.
I’m heading over to the expensive cheese section of the expensive grocery store, and I’m spending my paycheck on the kinds of cheeses that have rinds and French names; the kinds that pair perfectly with a cracked black pepper-cranberry cracker or a hunk of bread or…
Alright, I’ll admit it, I’m old.
