I found out yesterday that a good friend of mine from elementary school - who is three months younger than I am - just became a grandfather at age 44.

If you're old, I'm dead! I'm turning 59 on the 15th. I can't remember that far back when I was 44! You are a young whippersnapper, kid,LOL!

I'm 44 too. I figured I was getting old when the early 20somethings start calling me sir:-). It's all good though. I had a great time in my youngster days, but I was broke as heck too.

It ranks right up there with something Fred G once wrote even though I can't remember what it was and the post by LuchAAA where he removed someone from his LOL (List of Liberals) because said individual spoke out against bodegas for some reason.

If you were in the hills of Arkansas or Tennessee, you could substitute "30" for "44."

Age is just a number and it's how you view it. If you sit back and do nothing...yes...you will get old quicker. Live every day as if it were your last. Be active as much as you can. Sitting like a "couch potato" serves no purpose. Everyone is different. Most people think I'm 33..which I'm not. So I have that advantage where others don't.

That's not that odd....you could be a grandfather at 36. If you have a kid at 18, and your kid has a kid at 18, your 36 and a grandfather....not the life I would want....but happens all the time.

It's not that "unheard of" outside orthodox either, and it depends on the culture. My grandmother was married at 17 and had a kid at 18. All of her kids sort of broke that, and got married late, but if they married young, she would have been a grandmother by 37 or so....

Agreed! I rarely get carded nowadays. I does happen on occasion when I shave and I'm dressed-down. It's good when you can find humor in this sort of thing. I have a childhood friend who is having a hard time with the fact that we're no longer the young dudes.

That, by itself, does not mean you’re old. It just means that your friend had a child at a young age and that child also had a child at a young age.

I have a cousin who married at 19 and had a daughter right away. My cousin had a number of children after that, and had her last child at 40. Her oldest daughter was 20 when she got married so when my cousin walked her down the aisle, she was visibly pregnant.

You want real proof that you’re old? When your favorite cable TV channel, which shows all the ‘60s and ‘70s sitcoms you loved as a child, features commercials for funeral homes, retirement benefits from AARP and medications for arthritis and urinary incontinence.
