You Know You’re Getting Old When…….

[Bill & Ted]

I don't remember them, I must be ancient after all! They passed me by.

I do, a neighbours daughter had some I used to babysit

You used to babysit the Weebles?

[piggieminder]

I don't know why I laughed at that - it's not funny!

 

[BossHogg]

The version I heard was, I totally $hit when I fart!

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

You know you're old when....

You start thinking that an electric blanket might be a nice thing to have when you go to bed ...

 

[PassportSam]

You know you’re getting old when you start to sound like your parents

I'm putting the heated seat and steering wheel on more often in the patrol car!

Electric blanket is the best thing! But you need to get one that has independent switches for each side, I like my side warmer than the husband.

Not do I only think I'm starting to sound like my mother, she keeps looking back at me when I stand in front of a mirror.

You think that's bad, my Grandma with a fewer wrinkles stares back at me!

Yup

Realising I’m now one of the older generation in the family

 

[BossHogg]

As more and more of my "older" colleagues have retired, I'm now becoming one of the old farts as the new officers are a fraction of the age of their departing counterparts, meaning I feel even older!

Realising l,m now thè oldest generation in my family!

 

[teddymouse]

Old,! any body had to turn their menfolk collars round so as to get more ware out of their shirts? Darned socks with a wooden mushroom? I,m going back to bed!

 

[piggieminder]

I'm the eldest in my family now too!
I've never turned shirt collars round, I used to watch my Mum do though. I did darn socks with a mushroom, I still have it just in case!

I have an old mushroom

 

[Merab]

The only old mushroom I have will be lurking in the back of the fridge!
I can sew on buttons, mend small problems with hems or seams and that’s my limit.

They don't teach sewing in school anymore, l learn my son to sew and in the army he earned his beer money off his mates, doing their sewing and ironing, also my grd son, for his 12th birthday brought him an electric sewing machine.

I'm surprised they don't teach sewing anymore. I can't sew very well but I know how to do a basic mend and to sew on a button. My lovely Late Mum could make anything with a sewing machine and attempted several times to pass the skill on to me but it didn't work sadly. If I had managed to pick up the skill, I'd have saved a fortune on curtains and soft furnishings cos my Mum could do the lot. She once made a cushion to go against a wall cos everyone sat there and it hung from a bit of curtain rail that my Dad had put up it had buttons in it and everything.

 

[Pound Shilling & Pig]

So many truths in this version. Totally loved the original. This has made me laugh, want to cry, feel nostalgic and be reminded of someone I had the biggest crush on.

The vets start looking too young to have left school never mind qualifying as vets !
