When did this happen?

It's my birthday today so I did a little reflecting. You know you’re getting old when you…

· have to calculate your age by subtracting your birth year from the current year
· start conversations with your children that begin with “when I was your age…”
· eat bran to regulate your bowel movements
· wonder why the hell the kids in the city on skateboards aren’t at school
· take twice as long to look half as good
· see clothes you used to wear in the vintage clothing store
· are ready for bed by 10pm
· complain about the volume of iPods on public transport
· make noises when bending over or standing up
· increase your superannuation contributions
· have a cupboard full of heart-burn relievers and haemorrhoid creams
· drive at the speed limit
· wait for the little man to turn green before crossing the road

I don’t know when all of this started… when did I get old???
