I Am Officially Old

September 11th, 2008 · 6 Comments

That’s it.  It’s official.  I am old.

How did I come to this realization?  It wasn’t because I regularly fall asleep by 10pm.  Or because, as Thing 1 puts it, “Daddy forgets everything”.  And it wasn’t when I noticed that I’m almost twice the age of many of my kids’ preschool teachers, and they call me Mister.

No, last night I happened to come across the new 90210.  Luckily for me it was on before 10 o’clock.

It’s pretty much the same cheesy stuff like the Peach Pit (Nat is still there), with kids who look nothing like the ones in my high school, dealing with a lot of crises I don’t remember having in high school.

    You’re not old, just more experienced and more seasoned than the whipper-snappers.

    Trying to find a silver lining: there are worse things one can be besides old.
