Someone asked me yesterday what book I am reading and I told them PEYTON PLACE. They had never heard of it all I said was "you are young aren't you"

I have had something similar happen. I mentioned that DH collected LP's (33-1/3 records)...they just gave me a blank stare 8-)

yep I feel old when I think of how old my kids are. especially the oldest. he is 32. exactly 19 yrs younger than me. yikes. my daughter is 30 and the youngest is 24. really makes me feel like time has slipped away as it seems like only yesterday they were babies.

had my first grandbaby at 44.

I understand completely! My oldest DD is 37, 17 years younger than me. L too became a grandmother at 44. Aren't grandkids the greatest?

I feel oldest when I see pictures of myself 30 years ago. who was that person and where did they go? Otherwise I avoid the mirror and think I'm as young as I feel.
