It's sort of downhill from there, and the last 20 years certainly go by quicker than the first 20 years. The first time I had any feelings of getting old though was my 10th birthday, wow, double digits.
A lot of people tried to make me feel old when I turned 40 though, you know, the "how does it feel to be 40" question. And these same people brag about how youthful they look, like they found the fountain of youth, although they don't look the same as they used to either.

Jogged my memory there. I remember telling some of my friends how old we were getting. We were 8 years old lol. I looked very young also. Well into my 40s people thought I was 20something. Several times people thought my sister was my mother. She is three years older than I am. I miss those days
Age frequently brings disappointment. I recall wishing I could be old enough to shave. Now I absolutely hate having to shave. I recall a game that was played at parties... look down into a mirror and see what you'll look like when you're old.

Yesterday I got screamed at because he thinks I look younger than him(I'm 10 1/2 years older).
I just don't get it.  |
I just realized it was an old thread. Headed over to the rant thread now thanks
I'm not sure you need to get it. I would suggest sitting him down for a talk from big sister but if it freaks him out that much I'm not sure you can help.
