My dad says, "You know you're old when your children have gray hair."
I found a white hair on my head last year. I think it is gone though. I cannot find it again... That means my mim is old? She's only 40.
I think you know you're old when you get angry that the cashier at KFC didn't give you a senior discount even though you didn't ask for one.

Getting up off the floor requires something to grab onto.
Your parents seem to be getting smarter.
Your joints pop more than Rice Krispies.
You know all the words to songs that were on the charts 20 years ago...and are belting them out in your car...with the windows down.
Your medicine cabinet is so full you have some stuff stocked in your nightstand drawer.
Your kids correct YOUR math.
You'd rather sleep than have sex.

Well, my dad was looking at me when he said, and I had quite a lot more gray hair than that at the moment. (I hardly have any at all now, though, thanks to the good folks at Wella.)
I talk about being old all the time, but I don't really think I'm old -- even though most of my students' parents are younger than I am, and all of my students are over 18.
I've been around old people all my life, so I'd say you're really old when:
- They won't let you drive anymore.
- You house is worth fifty times what you paid for it.
- All your friends are dead. (Alternately, all your friends are widows.)
- Whenever you see your grandchildren, they're complaining that they hardly ever get to see their grandchildren anymore.
- Hundreds of people attend a family reunion that's held for the descendants of ... your parents.
- The priest who baptized you has been beatified.
My Uncle Bill, to the guy from the phone company who said it wasn't a good idea to cancel his long distance service: "All my friends are in hell. You got service to there?"
My great-grandmother, to the doctor who told her she shouldn't eat pickled pigs' feet: "I've buried five doctors, and I'll bury you."

I'm busted. Also the songs that were on the charts 30 years ago.
You know you are old:
when you think your doctor's too young, and he's 40.
When a 30 year old asks what is was like in the old days.
When you can't get out of bed without groaning.
When you have more hair in your comb than on your head (this one I didn't make up, I read it in Reader's Digest or something)

When you know the words to the songs they play in supermarkets. (I do get some delight by saying, "Yuk, I hated that song 30 years ago.")
When people ask you how you are and you say "Breathing." (This is always good, lol.)
When 70 and 80 year old's don't look so old.
When people say you don't look a day over 40. (*Sniffle*)
When you are not taken in by the sweet words of a politician. (You know they are lying.)
When a lot of the strange things in life make sense and you wish they still didn't.

.....when you squint really hard to read the small print, only to discover that it's the title on the front cover.

Your grandson asks if dinosaurs were around when you were a kid because you're the oldest person he knows. (my son Brandon asked my dad this when he was 5)
Jokingly, you ask for a senior discount and they give it to you, no questions asked. (This happened to Rick a couple of years ago when he was 45)
Your kids think all the sex words used today were invented by them.

In the case of really small print, I have two strategies:
1) Take off my glasses and hold the print right up to my face, or
2) Hand it to one of my students and ask, "What does this say?"

My receptionist asked me how old clients have to be to get the senior discount; I told her if they say they're seniors, they are.
My dad really hated it when they started giving him the senior discount even though he didn't ask for it. Also the time (he was still in his fifties or early sixties) he picked up my brother's birthday cake at the bakery, and when my sister-in-law went to get it, they told her, "An elderly gentleman already picked it up."

When your son takes for granted that you took recreational drugs because you were a teenager in the '60s - and refuses to believe that you didn't.
When every joint in your body seems to make loud cracks each time you move.
When youngsters call you "Sir"

Not sure I can agree with that one... at least I hope not. I got called "Sir" three times the other night, in line at McD's @1am... I WAS wearing a suit so there is that, but still. I'm 28 for crying out loud. Serious pouting here eh.
In defence of my looks they were a group of 3 fresh young Samoan boys.
