Getting Old

You know you're getting old when...

1. your boyfriend is playing with your hair when he comes across a patch of gray hair so big all he can say is "Ohh..." and quickly removes his hands from your hair.
2. if you are lying on the couch watching TV past ten... okay, 9:30... you fall asleep.
3. you go out to the local bars and the only people you know are your high school students.
4. your former students are celebrating their 21st birthdays at the same places you used to party in - when you could still stay up that late.
5. the only television you can stand to watch is nick at nite and tbs reruns of friends and seinfeld.
6. when you tell people that your little brother is engaged, their first reaction is, "Are you okay?"
7. when you tell people that your little brother is getting married in june of 08, their first reaction is, "isn't that your 30th birthday?"

ouch.
i'm old.

You know you're old when your idea of a date is a trip to Krogers or Walmart on a Saturday night.

You know you're old when the last time you coughed you threw your back out.

You know you're old when you can't tell if you are wearing black or blue socks.
