I am 40 years old. I don’t feel that I am old. I know that nearly all the kids in my math class were not even born the last time I had a math class. Yes I have strange aches and pains and can count on being sore the day after any extra physical exertion. I have no where near the same amount of hair that I once had. Often I wish I could take a nap in the middle of the afternoon or really want to go to bed early. I just don’t feel like I am old.
If I am not old why am I constantly thinking the old person mantra “What is wrong with kids today?” Kids walk into class ten minutes late and I think it. Kids get up from a table and leave their trash and I think it. Kids keep talking during lecture and I think it. Every time I turn around I am thinking it. Am I really that old?
