You know your old when...
You use words like "cool" and "awesome".....all these kids keep saying my car is
"sick" and I'm thinking, it is running just fine, why is it sick? I guess at 39 I am getting old. |

"Cool" has been in my vocabulary for over 40 years. "Awesome"? I use it occasionally. "Sick"? Nahhhh... ain't gonna happen. You dig?

"Sick" is usually the adjective I think of at the race track when I hear a car not running on all its cylinders. I've never understood the use of the word to mean "cool." And I'm only 26.

You feel like younger family members are "inventorying your things" when they come over to visit.

I'll be 39 in two weeks. People think I am in my 20's...umm well.
 Anyway, you know you are getting old when you are at a highschool football game and the parents of the football players were in 8th grade your senior year.
