Today my kids were with their daddy. So needless to say I was able to pick the music in the car on the way home from church. Flipping through the stations I turned to my favorite station. It has been a few years since I truly listened to it.
"Justin Timberlake...coming up next," quipped the DJ.
Alright! I thought...as the music started I realized that obviously this wasn't the Justin Timberlake from my late teen early twenties years. I can't understand a single word!He is the same age as me....surely this can't be right.
Then it hit me! The realization of OMG I am so old and I sound just like my mother!!!
What am I going to do? So I quickly flipped to another station.
"Welcome to the station that plays the hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s," said the DJ.
Ahhh, home sweet music home.
That is a difficult moment. I hate it when I suddenly realize my age. I don't have a problem with my age, but now and then I really wonder how exactly I got to be 37!
ReplyDeleteYep. I'm a bonafide geezer, or so I feel most days, older than even you because I never knew Justin Timberlake.
ReplyDeleteHowever, my son (the computer programmer) tells me I'm with it, so I guess I haven't totally lost it. I know how to comment on a great post--which this one is!

Oh me! I can't even think of anything Justin Timberlake sings! So that makes me a geezer too.
ReplyDeleteLynnelle,
ReplyDeleteNothing makes you feel your age than music. I was separated musically with my students so fast I just gave in and relaxed.
I'm so with you,
Bonnie
