The age-old quote says "You're only as old as you feel." But if you get sore after a romp in a bouncy castle, you're too old for a bouncy castle. If you had to look up what a bouncy castle is, then you're definitely too old for a bouncy castle.
This past year, I not only became a father, but I also turned 30. That's double jeopardy for whatever adolescence I had remaining. It's a hard pill to swallow...that I'm getting old.
But it only takes a brief encounter with a group of ignorant teens at the mall or a channel flip to some ignorant show on MTV to I realize I'm perfectly content with my current generational position.
While changing diapers and a receding hairline are obvious signs that you're getting older, there are some more subtle indications that younger years are behind you. Here are a just few:
1. You hate all the new songs on the radio.
(You hate the new artists even more)
2. You think kids these days have no respect.
(Which they don't)
3. Just the idea of a nap makes you happy.
(And instantly tired)
4. You catch yourself watching and enjoying infomercials.
(That damn Bacon Bowl is genius!)
5. You mail out family Christmas cards.
