Is it the grey hair, streaking across the top of my head?
No.
Is it the ominous creaking when I get up or down?
No.
Is it the children asking if I used a telegraph when I was little?
No.
And I can’t believe they really thought I did.
So, why then do I suddenly feel old?
I did NOT get carded yesterday when buying wine for dinner tonight.
(Of course, that may have had something to do with the fact that the proprietor and I
were discussing the various merits of veal marsala and chicken marsala at the time…)
Praying With My Feet 
Ha, I did get carded well into my thirties, and was indignant at the time. (Don't I look grown up yet?) Hope your marsala dinner came out well.

I was 47 the last time I got carded while on a “daddy/daughter date”. Since then I grew my beard out and clerks call me “sir”. I don't know which is more disturbing. 🙂

I was probably about 24 years old when I got carded for buying a rated-R movie. I thought the salesperson was joking.
