How to Know You Are Definitely Not 20 Anymore

lori beeler
A person gets older day by day. Well, here are just a few ways to tell that you are not twenty anymore.

First, your skin that used to fit you is now hanging down below your knees.

Second, when you stand up at least one thing snaps, crackles, and/or pops.

Third, you are no longer asked for identification when purchasing alcohol or cigarettes.

Fourth, you are driving a min-van instead of a Mustang.

Fifth, your house is a real house instead of a one room apartment with old pizza boxes for carpeting.

Sixth, you sip your drinks instead of chug your beer.

Seventh, twenty year olds are now calling you Sir or Ma'am and asking for your advice about things.

Eighth, you get a senior citizen discount at places.

Ninth, your children are now actually twenty years old.

Tenth, fast food restaurants and malls are not your favorite places to go anymore.

Eleventh, it takes a lot more dye for your hair to cover the gray now.

Twelfth, the only clique or group you are a part of now is the P.T.A. or the Garden Club.

Thirteenth, you know all of the words by heart to all of The Beatles' songs.

Fourteenth, shopping for clothes is not fun anymore since you have to buy three sizes larger to fit over the lose skin.

Fifteenth, you get up every morning at 6:00 to go to work instead of every afternoon at 1:00 to go to your first college class.

Sixteenth, Saturdays are now for doing all of the household chores instead of hanging out. Sundays are for doing household chores instead of hanging out.

Seventeenth, children whisper behind your back "Wow, look how old he/she is. He/she must have seen dinosaurs in person."

Eighteenth, you are now the teacher instead of the student.

Nineteenth, your money is actually spent on bills and necessities instead of arcade games, movies, pizza, and other non necessary things in life.

Twentieth, if the police pull you over it is usually for going 25 in a 55 zone instead of 85 in a 25 zone.

Twenty first, you can no longer threaten to run away from home since you are the one paying the mortgage on it.

Twenty second, each year people worry about setting the house on fire when they light the candles on your birthday cake.

Twenty third, you no longer have birthday parties at all since they interfere with your work, home, and/or your children's soccer games or ballet recitals.

Twenty fourth, your co-workers invite you to a nice quiet restaurant instead of a noisy bar where "it is happening".

Last but not least twenty fifth, when someone asks you for your social security card and think it is fake since it only has six numbers instead of eight.

    Very funny stuff.

    Sounds painfully familiar, but I like being able to remember the lyrics of Beatles songs like Hey Dude, Let It Go, and Raspberry Fields Forever. When I start forgetting the names of Beatles songs I'll know I'm well past it...

    Funny!! I got so excited when I got carded in Wal-mart (I'm not saying what for...) but I got way too happy about it! :-)
