You know you're getting old when...

[Refractive Reflections]

When you talk about how much fun you had in the past (TV shows, video games, concerts, times with friends) and your younger cousins/relatives look at you, the same way you did when your parents talked about their younger years. LOL

When you have younger relatives ask you about historical events, such as "where were you" and "what were you doing" in heavier events like Princess Diana's death, Columbine High School Shooting, and Sept. 11th, and lighter pop culture events (i.e. asked to compare how big "Gangnam Style" is with the Macarena, and can remember Britney Spears being actually "normal" in the beginning of her career).

When you smile and see lines underneath your eyes in the mirror. LOL

When you have a collection of VHS tapes, cassettes and even older CDs, and you wonder if you should still keep them because you remember the effort it took to earn the money to purchase them and the excitement afterward...even though you already have those songs/episodes on DVD, Blu-Ray, or on your computer/iPod.

When you can appreciate quick internet speed because you can actually remember what a pain it was to wait for a single webpage, much less a video, to appear with dial-up back in the '90s.

When you can empathize with your parents about the difficulty and hardships of living on your own (i.e. paying bills, maintain the home, being by yourself, job struggles, upbringing children), and you actually want their advice rather than ignoring it when you were a child or teenager.

Or when you get really old: When your little black book is now filled with the names of several doctors than hot dates.
