When I can no longer hear the Mosquito sound recording that my students can hear. This year was the first time I could no longer hear it. 👂🏾👂🏾
Changing my flashbulb memory example from 9/11to when Michael Jackson died or when Bin Laden was killed because most of my students were like 3 years old or younger when 9/11 happened.

All these ridiculous TV reboots make me feel old. Murphy Brown, really? Magnum PI? Oh Murphy Brown reboot? Yay! Oh wait...that made me feel old.

I hope this makes sense. Parenting our parents. It’s almost like in some ways the roles have reversed and we’re having to help our parents understand things or get things done. Just watching them age and realizing what’s coming and what they need help with now. I don’t know, but H and I have both been noticing it lately and it’s a reality trip for us on how old we are and how our parents were just our age not too long ago.
Otherwise it’s usually a song that comes on the radio on a classics channel. That’s a weird feeling for me.

When your kid gets asked to be a flower girl instead of you being asked to be a bridesmaid.

Caring for mother really, really gives me a jolt of just how much time has passed.

Dealing with aging parents freaks me out a bit because I am not naturally inclined to be a care-taking type. It is a harsh reality check.

I felt it the other day, when I found myself on the way to a PTA meeting, singing along to Michael Martin Murphy’s Wildfire, when I drove past one of those speed setups to tell you how fast you are going... and thought, ooh, I better speed up!

We are buying one for her friend for her birthday party this weekend and dd has the jealousy. Little does she know I already bought her one for her birthday in November.

I got DD1 a knockoff Polly Pocket which was small like the original but it was complete garbage and broke almost immediately.

A friend tried to send me some money and I replied that I had a PayPal she could use. Friend: PayPal? No. Venmo.

ttcbabyj, so I found a few different ones. This one I could hear. There was another one though that kept upping the level (frequency) and I definitely could not hear the higher frequencies after the first few.

My DSD (17 years old) just came in the room and she could hear it.

When my physicians are younger than me. When my dads surgeon was younger than me, and is known locally as "the" shoulder guy! MH was referred to a spine guy and when I saw the name I was like, “OMG no I went to high school with him! We are not old enough to be experts!”

Hearing Paula Abdul on an "oldies" station.
Music from the 1980s now is the equivalent of the 1950s music I heard when I was 13.
