Getting old is a tough pill to swallow.
In fact, some of us have such a hard time accepting it that we just sort of...spit the pill out, and pretend we never even saw the pill in the first place, because ignorance is bliss and we're determined to stay young forever.
If you're also the sort of person who's stuck in the denial stage of aging, I think you're really going to relate to these quotes.
It had to happen eventually, but you're now so low on the list that you have to infinite-scroll until you locate the prehistoric year of your birth.
Certainly the kind of ego boost we all need sometimes.
Bit of a sobering realization, isn't it? If you want to add some salt to that wound, you should know they probably looked at you and thought the exact same thing. Now you're both standing there staring at each other having to accept the fact that neither one of you is as young as you once were.
Have a great day!
Make sure you pick your moment, too. Maybe try dropping to the ground in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner to really gauge the room's reaction.
If they're scared, you have your answer and you also possibly ruined their evening. If they laugh, you just brought a little smile to everyone's turkey day. It's definitely a gamble, but it's worth it.
But until then, I'd say we're more than content to stay firm in our denial and continue to comment on how people our age are "really looking old these days."
Like I said, ignorance really is bliss.
