I am only 25, and my 7 year old niece made be feel old.... I recently got the boxed set of My Little Pony on DVD, and I said to her "Would you like to watch it with me? It's a cartoon I watched when I was your age"

She said "It's not in black and white is it aunty?"

I'm always surprised when someone says 80 or 90 is "old". The Missus' mum is 91, and still clear-thinking, still makes jokes, and a blessing to be around. She moves slower, but still gets up and down stairs.

I alsways say that I hope I'm doing as well when I'm that age....

Sorry mom and dad.

30s are still good in my opinion.

I used to think anything over 40 was old until my dad died at 51. I realized then that 50's aren't so old anymore.

I'd say old is about your age plus twice the square root of your age

You're old when you turn 100.
