But the Mets don't make me feel old. Besides, the Cardinals are much older than the Mets.

And I wonder, does that make me a cranky old woman? (Probably. Also, you kids? Get the f*ck off my lawn.)<br /><br />@Anonymous#2, Yeah, nothing like seeing your high school or college friends, whom you still think of as being the same as you all were in high school or college, celebrating <i>their children's</i> high school or college graduations to make you feel old!

Looking at my FB feed ...Soo funny you posted this.<br /><br />Looking at my FB feed this morning, I was struck with how many of my friends were celebrating their children graduations from HS and college, and asked myself-when did I get old.

As the father of three small children, I constantly find myself muttering "that's not the way it is when I was a kid." <br /><br />Here's a few examples: <br /><br />Everyone gets a trophy for showing up<br />No cupcakes allowed for birthdays - lest someone have a food allergy<br />Kids need "structure" and therefore, have schedules rivaling a CEO<br />And when did "Timeouts" become a thing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
