How you know you're old
 

I could have titled this thread, "What's making you feel old today" but the mug has already been made, and I would have no shot of getting on it. SO.


Here's how I know I'm old:

All these douchey kid singers with upside down hair. What the hell is going on with that? Beiber is corny enough.... but this? and there are a lot of them running around in skinny jeans and hoodies.

Who are they supposed to be?

Barber college dropouts.

Barber college crash test dummies.

Shooting up a school gymnasium somewhere near you soon.

The Back Chute Boys.

Gay is the new hetero.

HAGGIS!

By the way, I know I'm old when I look in the mirror. Those darn whippersnappers with their fancy hair and accessorizing jackets, and their Dan Fogelberg and their Zima. ;)

A few of the girls who go to school with my big boys are mad about 1D (you only know to call them that if you're a really cool, hip parent), who happen to be in Oz at the moment.

Here's a picture taken by one of the boys a couple of weeks ago.

We call this group 'Mis-direction'

(this is a picture of one of my boys and few of his mates for those who can't figure out the relevance)

I recognize yours from FB. ;)

I don't know why we are looking at a picture of 5 children going to the beach.

Stroll around on Main Street in a college town like I did today. It was a nice day and the kids were out in droves. College? They looked like 8th graders cutting class. I felt like Methusalah's grand ma. But I enjoyed watching them - like a bunch of exuberant puppies they were. :)

Those boys aren't going to the beach. That's just standard street wear around our area.

Here too. My kids were telling me about them just a week or two ago.

In my son's math class, the teacher kept saying the phrase "one direction" as part of the lesson, and all the girls were giggling and the boys were groaning. Teacher apparently had no clue.
