You know you're getting old when...


*You listen to NPR on the way to and from work each day. "Oooh, reading disabilities, foreign elections, and Haitian folk music...how interesting!"

*You quote lines from movies, and your teenage students just look at you like you're insane. Umm....they've never seen Tommy Boy...they've never seen The Princess Bride...THEY'VE NEVER SEEN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. ??????!!!!!!!???????

*You are ecstatic when you get to go to bed at 10:00 p.m. on a Saturday night.

What else can be added to this list?

  3. When you look at your closet full of cute clothes and sassy heels and choose a tshirt and sneakers for the fifteenth day in the row because they're so comfy, and what's the point of dressing up, anyway?

  4. When your students also haven't heard of David Bowie.
