your wife say you're just like a computer.
If left unattended for 15 minutes you fall asleep.

I had my wake up call when picking up a pizza for dinner.
A nice young (20s) woman hands me the pie and then asks, “Can you handle that, do you need help, can I carry this out for you”? While I appreciated her concern and offers to help, I must admit it did hurt a bit.

When I was in my mid 30's I went into a fast food restaurant to get lunch. There was a cute young girl working behind the counter and after I get my food and sit down to eat I notice on my receipt that she had given me a senior citizen discount. And as I said I was mid 30's at the time! Really put me in my place.
When they offer to cut my steak for me, or pre-chew my food for me, then I know that they know I'm old but I don't know it. If that makes sense. Maybe I should type louder so everyone can read this? And why does the senior section of the salad bar have that big bowl of tapioca pudding?
I'm not "getting" old. I have arrived.

For me it struck home the first time that pretty young clerk/cashier/waitress smiled at you and said "Have a nice day, SIR!"

When my wife was 30 we were at a store and the clerk called her ma’am… she was horrified. A few days later we were at a different store and the clerk asked her if it was her mom’s credit card, so that made her day.
It hit me the other day when I was getting my Medicare exam that being old and knowing some things isn’t all that bad. One question that I laughed very hard was “Do you have a problem expressing yourself to others”! I can’t write what I told the young nurse but she laughed too. The other thing was when she asked me to draw a clock and I thought most millennials would fail the test at this point because they can only read a digital clock!

If you make the same noises as your coffee maker in the morning, you might be getting old…
It struck home when some young girl rushed over to pick up a book I dropped when I was walking across the church parking lot. Made me feel old and at the same time made me feel good about the young people of today.
My wife and I got married at 19-year-old. That was 52 years ago. She was small, thin and girlish looking though she was 7 months older than me. I on the other hand am tall and look like I got pulled through a knot hole backwards. When she got pregnant with our first at 23 years old, she still looked 12. WOW did I get dirty looks walking around Disneyland with her. Heard several under the breath comments about being a dirty old man or should be arrested. Being several months younger than the wife I find myself continually having to tell the younger generation of ladies that if they had never seen a boy toy AKA trophy husband up close, give me a good looking over. The gagging and "oh gross" comments I can do without.

It kinda hits home when the first SS check shows up...

Far better to be getting your first SS check and not the last!
My doctor was really impressed when I brought along a drawing compass for making the clock face.
Just remember that we're now being paid back for all the things we helped older people with when we were young.
