Evidence that you're getting oldYouthful as I am, I realised yesterday that I no-longer know, or care, who is #1 in the charts. Furthermore, it takes all day to get rid of a hangover and I now seem to have a profound interest in gardening. Worst is that I now use words like 'furthermore'.
What makes you think that you are getting old?

I'm not old... everyone else is young!I'm not getting old, so much as what is "old" is getting younger.
For example, I started university at the ripe old age of 19. I barely felt ready to live on my own.
I'm now in second year, still living in residence, and they dropped a year of high school. No more Grade 13. And with some kids (oh yes, they're kids) fast tracking so they graduate a year early, I've ended up with some sixteen and seventeen year olds on my floor.
They're infants. They giggle, listen to crap music at all hours of the night, the girls spend all their time in the bathroom (as in they just lean on the sinks and hang out there. What the heck?) and they try and get me to buy them booze.
Old is a relative thing. They make me feel old.
