Getting older when...
There are many ways to end this sentence and were curious to hear some of them. Here are a couple:
You know your getting older when....You go to Wallys and the first thing you do is head to the machine to check your blood pressure.
or...One of the first daily talks include how good/bad your morning dump was/wasn't.

You feel like a newborn baby, no hair, no teeth and you just wet your pants.

The only cute girls "eyeing your stuff" are the nurse's aides checking your catheter.

..............when the same people as if you bought your 1951 Airstream new
..............when you look like you were able to do both of the above
...............when you can't remember if you did either of the top two

How about having college students walk into your classroom and tell you THEIR parents took your classes (fortunately I remembered them!)...

getting older when... when your high school students ask about your first computer (Tandy TRS 80 Model 1) and their response to your reply is either a blank stare or "HUH?"
getting older when... when your high school students look at the typewriters in the rear of the lab and ask, "who would ever want to use one of those?" -- these typewriters are the last ten from the typing lab that pre-dated the current computer lab and were new during my first year of teaching.

You are looking at minivans not because you have a family to haul, but because you have a mobility scooter.

"A roll in bed with a little honey" is actually what you ate for breakfast.

Too funny, I love it!
Going to another room to do something, and when you get there, you forget why you wanted to go there. Makes me crazy!

...when you have no idea what they're trying to sell on the commercial that just ended.
...when the ticket sales person gives you a senior discount without asking.
...when your cupboards have more dog treats than people food.

Man, ain't THAT the truth!
...Or when they advertise something as a "new idea" that you remember from the 50's!
...Or when you go to some antique store or museum and see everyday things you remember your parents or grandparents using. (And you KNOW that the old items are far better than today's version of the same thing!)
