This is a question Getting Old

Drimble asks: When was it last brought home to you just how old you're getting? We last asked this in 2004, and you're eight years older now. Eight. Years.

Three cruel, cruel words.
When I was in my very late 20's, I drove down to my niece's 18th birthday party. She hadn't really expected me to show as I lived 250 miles away at the time, but being fond of her and not seeing the family that often, I made the effort and drove down.

There had been plenty of time on the drive down to mull over the fact that my niece would have some 18 year friends, and hey, I *was* still in my 20's..was that so bad?

When arriving in front of the venue, it appeared that the evening might be getting off to a great start. At the time I was driving a lovely old convertible Jag and a group of three lasses by the entrance clocked me (OK, it) as I drove in.
I got out, collected the card and present and started walking towards them: Eye-contact, smiles.. At which point, my niece spotted me, ran outside and uttered the killer phrase that ensured that I'd be spending the evening talking to the family:



"HI UNCLE ROB!"

So your plans of getting off with barely legal chicks was thwarted?

Well, 16 is the age of consent

So not sure 'barely legal' is fair.

Now 'Far too young', definitely..
