When you go into a store--thrift shop, used furniture, etc--and discover that the mixer/serving dishes/utensils you bought as a bride have now been upgraded to "Vintage".
When an old classmate recognizes you and you not only have no idea who he/she is (even when they introduce themselves) and you realize that he/she thinks you're someone else...even when you introduce yourself back, and they say, "no you're not"--and now you are suddenly in a world of alternate universes
The books you loved as a child are now in the category online of "collector's items"
Everyone you went to school with, were a bridesmaid for, or you threw baby showers for, is a grandparent. They are suddenly old. Too.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
OE when your home health aide examines her patient's shaving gear and says oh my grandfather had this kind but I don't know how to use these antique ones!
ReplyDeleteWe ran into one of my daughter's former soccer coaches the other day and discovered that his oldest son is a grandfather. Whoa.
ReplyDeletethat's funny, and a bit unsettling. I think we tend to think of teachers and coaches as staying the age they were when we left them,
ReplyDeletealways a jolt to discover everyone is on the same age track we are...
My cousins are all gone but their children have grandchildren...yikes
