That fetus is 17?  

Almost nothing makes me feel older than the phrase “class of 2007.” We saw it on a sweatshirt yesterday. How can someone born in 1989 be 17 years old? 1989, people! And normally I don’t feel old at all. I feel the same as I did when I was 17. I mean, I feel smarter, more mature, more confident. I’m a little heavier. If anything, I feel like everyone around me is getting younger. But do I feel older? Nah. Not until I see babies walking around who are allegedly 17.

I can’t wait until the first time my kids ask me what year I was born in. And I start saying “19–” and they interrupt me laughing and howling, “You were born last millennium! HA!”

Oh yeah. That’s going to be a riot.

    I’ve begun saying I was born when FDR was President, rather than Roosevelt because people have been known to ask “which one”.

    Great to have you t BB. I hadn’t seen your blog but I’ll be back.

    Last week I mentioned Adam Ant on a message board. The 22 year old replied with “Who?”

    I never wanted to kick someone so hard in my life.
