Top Ten Ways You Know You're 50

My 8 year old son gave me a birthday card today, with the title above. Here's what else it said:

  1. You take long elevator rides just to hear the music.

  2. Joggers pass you, and you're driving!

  3. You just love RV shows!

  4. You wonder why everyone else is starting to mumble.

  5. You start looking around for a checkers partner.

  6. Gravity is your worst enemy.

  7. You wonder why everything is in such small type.

  8. All of a sudden, everyone else seems to be getting taller.

  9. You begin every other sentence with "Nowadays..."

And last but not least...

  1. You find cards that make fun of being 50 tasteless and insensitive!

I suppose only relating to two out of the ten is good (heavily to #4 and partially to #5). Hopefully that means I'm still young at heart. As another "50 image" I found says, "I'm not 50! I'm 18 with 32 years experience."

Unlike the caption says on the back of the card, I did not fall asleep at #7.

And finally, a big thank you to my two aunties in England who still send me a birthday card each year. That's a lot of birthday cards!
