Who took my Geritol?
I keep coming across these signs that I'm becoming a mature and responsible adult. The other day I was at a clothing store that is frequented by a lot of teens. I was looking for a cute party shirt and I found this one that I really liked. It was black and had pink ribbons. One of the ribbons was all frayed at the bottom and at first I was really annoyed that the shirt was damaged and that was the only one in my size. Then I started to wonder, "Is that how it's supposed to be? Is this the hip new fashion that the kids are wearing these days?" And then I realized that I had just uttered words comparable to what my mother might say and I nearly dropped the shirt.
I'm getting old! *sob* And I'm becoming my mother! *extreme sobbing*

I was going to say something, but I just completely blanked here. Maybe I need that St. John's Wort or Echincea or Echinda or Enchilada or whatever it is. You're not old yet. Unless someone has called you "ma'am". That's old.

Mike made me blank on what I was going to say . . . Oh yeah, that reminds me of the SNL skit where Julia Sweeney became her mother and she was powerless to stop the transformation.

Two comments.
One, "ma'am" is a term of respect, not of age.
Two, "getting" old??
