When did I get old?

I know I really need to dye my hair... but I had no idea I looked that old.

A few months ago I had clients accusing me of being some young 20-something whippersnapper fresh out of college and clueless. In the last few months on two different occasions, while holding a friend's grandson, I was asked if he was my grandson! (I will dye my hair tonight for sure.)

Also I noticed recently that the movies I have been watching over the Christmas season have people that look my age with teenagers... older teenagers. When I was an in-home therapist I also noticed that many of my clients with teenagers were my age or even younger.

When my mom was my age I was 17... Wow. I can't even imagine having a 17 year old right now.

It seemed like just a few years ago I started feeling like an adult, and now I am middle age.

Time really flies. (Old people always say that...)

I don't care about getting older, and I'm not having a mid-life crisis... it's just weird when others start seeing you as old...

Now where is that hair dye...
