How old are you feeling today?

Question

Ever notice how the younger generation has a way of making us feel really old sometimes?

Yesterday I ran across a young person who didn't know Walt Disney was a REAL person. Thought it was just a made up name!

~sigh~

Answer 1

I was once with a woman and her nine year old daughter.  The girl was bugging her mother for a cell phone.  She turned to me for support and asked how old I was when I got my first cell phone.  The look on her face when I replied 52 was priceless.

Answer 2

I remember showing my Granddaughter a album record she ask what kind of disk player does that fit? I took a test today Iam 55 but my real age it said was 63 get I felt alot older than that.

Answer 3

I'm 78 but I feel very young today because I did a childish thing in my underwear.

Answer 4

I had the same feeling when I had to explain to a high school class what a record player was.

Good grief, it wasn't *that* long ago that we used them, was it?  But I guess when you're their age, 15 or so years ago is like ancient history.

Answer 5

Feel like I'm 72, cause that is how old I am.

Answer 6

That is a cute story.  I have been sitting for almost 5 hours here at work and my bottom feels about 80, my heart about 20 and overall I feel about 40.

Answer 7

Yes, that happens but on the other hand some of the younger generation can make you feel young again.

My grandson comes on Tuesdays to do the yard work, but before he starts he always sits with me and wants to tell me about his day and he always asks about my day. He likes to tease a little and we can laugh together. He is 15.

I can and love to relate with the young generation and you wouldn't believe how much they divulge to me.

They at times tell me more than I really wanted to know.

Answer 8

Extremely old.  Going through a break up with my bf of 10 years. That'll put more gray hairs on my head.

Heck... I work at a pizza chain, and once, when it was the supervisor's birthday, he said, "Boy, I really feel old!"  I asked how old he was... he said, "22."  GEESH!!! I said, "what does that make me? PETRIFIED?"

Have a Senior day.

Answer 9

I am late 50's, after a terrible insult today I feel like I am very very old and useless.  Sad to let others words harm you!  

Answer 10

I feel every bit of my 56 years today.

Answer 11

Some days I feel rather young and perky and some days I feel like I'm 99 years old.  I guess it's according to how much pain I'm in.

Answer 12

I feel like I'm about 15 instead of 30. Having a tough time today and I really want to pout like a teenager!

Answer 13

I feel old enough to know better and yet young enough to take a chance.

Answer 14

Until I stand up again, I feel about 30     :)

Answer 15

I'm 10 I fell like I'm an 60 year old man with an IQ of an Computer Geek (Cause I Am) and a 25 year old

Answer 16

In reality I am only 22 years old, but I do sometimes feel old!  When I was 20, I didn't think Walt Disney was a person, I thought it was just a made up company name, I didn't experience what many kids get to do today like going to Disney World.  My parents would always work and work and hardly had time for us.  

The reason I say I feel old is because, I have three kids, all under the age of 3.  They are a handful.  Currently, my girlfriend and I are going to going back to college.  Some people may think we are crazy but we're not.  I work parttime customer service, when I tell people that I have three kids and I am 22, they freak out!  And say you look 18.  

Yeah, I know this really doesn't have anything to do about the topic.  But I am feeling 32 years, old. lol.

Answer 17

I feel about 15 years younger than my 62 years...Your young person is also looking around for Mr. Kodak...George Eastman.

Answer 18

In my mind, 32.  In my body, 64.  In reality, 57.

Answer 19

Ancient! My grandaughter looked at my bike (a beach cruiser)  yesterday and asked if that's what we used in the "olden days"!!

Pagan...Consider the source and then brush it off. Hope it didn't happen here in Seniors.

Answer 20

i'm feeling older than the sand on the beach.. i think i went 2 Jesus 1st. birthday party.. but i still have my moments when the little girl still runs around inside of me and at 64 and just bought and rode a 4 wheeler.. love it 2, with the wind blowing my hair back  : )  wanna go 4 a ride  : )

Answer 21

This morning when I got up I was 30. Now at the end of the day I am 63 once again.    Poppy

Answer 22

Don't let that make you feel old.  Kids don't know stuff that they haven't been taught or haven't run across in their reading.  It doesn't mean they're not educated, and it certainly doesn't mean that you're old.  I assume you set the young person straight, didn't you?  Now there's one more kid who knows another little bit of information because of you.  

Answer 23

i'm 15. but today i feel like i'm 80. i'm so sore. everything hurts. lol.

i miss the classic disney stuff too. and begging my dad to let me stay up to see tom and jerry.

all this hannah montanna stuff is just sad.

Answer 24

I feel like 30. I have been lifting weights for 23 years. So I ALWAYS feel younger than young people. Because: I can pick up weights a LOT heavier than most people on this planet.

Feels good!

Answer 25

those kind of events never make me feel older, just make me pity the loss to so many of today's kids.  it is like the only things they know are on mtv or star mags.

Answer 26

I am not older than dirt but when I was born rocks were still experimental.

Today has been an especially bad one, I seldom feel as young as my 60s but today I can't even remember it.  I tell people the date on the registration is far less important than the miles on the odometer.  My odometer has rolled over more than once.
