Ten things that scream “I’m old” that have nothing to do with wrinkles

Ask anyone over the age of 50 how old they feel, and you can be certain that their answer is many years younger than they actually are. I once spoke with a dear friend aged 85 who said that in her heart and mind, she felt like she was still 60 - her subjective age. 

There's no denying your real age under certain circumstances - even if you look in the mirror and don’t see the wrinkles. Here are ten things that you have, do or say that give your real age away.

  1. You watch the Grammy Awards Show and have no idea who any of the musicians are

  2. You say Grammy Awards Show instead of the Grammys

  3. You’re still sporting that Farrah Fawcett hairdo

  4. You have a landline phone

  5. There are 17 different maps in your car’s side door

  6. You have hair growing in places it shouldn’t - like on your chin if you’re a female and in your ears if you’re a man

  7. Your eyebrows have disappeared (damn the 70’s overplucking trend)

  8. You start a sentence with, “When I was your age…”

  9. You think “glow up” has something to do with lighting

  10. You text using your forefinger
