So.... The other day, when I was wrestling around with one of my little ones, they stopped, looked at me, and asked (what I use think was a dreaded question), "Daddy, are you old?"

I immediately asked myself, "What brought that on? Did I let out a whimper just now, when they jumped off the couch (knees first) onto my back? Is there a gray hair on my head I can't see?" So I've been asking myself, "Am I old?" The answer: I'm as old as I feel. Which means, some days I feel younger than usual. :p

So I ask you guys. Complete the following sentence:

You know you're getting old, when....

You know you're getting old, when you see a hottie at the mall and ask yourself, "Hmm... I wonder what her mom looks like?"

You have to ask your kids to show you how to check your email or voicemail to see what you needed to remind yourself.

You can tell whether you're 'Old' by simply looking down at your wrist. If you're wearing a wristwatch, you'd Old.

Why? Young people don't wear watches. When they want to know what time it is, they pull out their smartphones.

Or when you go skinny water fishing, you try not to have to get wet. You can say "It's fine fishing from the bank"

On another note. I have yet to step into a stream yet this summer. All my fishing has been from the bank. Most of the places I have been fishing are small skinny water. No need to wade. I can hit the other bank from the side I'm standing on. And yes, there are fish in them waters.

You kick off sentances with:

"Kids these days are up to no good...."
"Get your ball out of my yard..."
"Look at those at-risk teens...." (usually in reference to any teenagers)
"Let me see if I can find that record, I know it's here somewhere..."
"I better go, this is a long distance call"
"Betty and i took some great slides in Aculpulco, how bout you and Nancy come over for a casserole and a slide show?"

or you know where this came from or have had similar conversations with friends:

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:I was happier then and I had nothin'. We used to live in this tiny old house with great big holes in the roof.
SECOND YORKSHIREMAN: House! You were lucky to live in a house! We used to live in one room, all twenty-six of us, no furniture, 'alf the floor was missing, and we were all 'uddled together in one corner for fear of falling.
THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:Eh, you were lucky to have a room! We used to have to live in t' corridor! (etc etc)
