Realizing that my baby brother isn't even a teenager anymore...that the newborn my mom's friend adopted when I was 10 is about to have his bar mitzvah...that almost all of my friends have either just graduated or just gotten married. If it wasn't for all of that, I'd still think of myself as being 12 years old...
When I catch myself referring to people as kids, especially when they're not all that much younger than me.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson
"Mellissa your parents are 60 and look 35? Maybe to other 60 year olds and to their offspring but you can bet your a** not to other 35 year olds."
If I had a scanner, I would upload a picture of my mother. When she and my wife (36 years old) go out together, they are mistaken for sisters. I am not kidding. And my father looks his age. I never said anything about him.
