"So, how old is old?"

[glynndah]

Our school has a bulletin board where all the teachers have posted their baby pictures and the kids are supposed to guess which baby picture matches up with which teacher.

One of the little boys said, "You know, you can tell which ones are from the old teachers because those pictures are in black and white."

"That might be true, Brent. So, how old would you think those teachers might be?"

"Oh, about 70 or so."

"70! Hmm...Which teacher do you think might be 70?"

"Well, there's Ms. Glynndah..."

*sigh* And I thought I looked pretty good.

 

[toys_em_us]

Anyone my age or younger is not old...

 

[Iggy_Piggy]

Anyone my age or younger is not old...

Yeah- that's always the yardstick.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

D'you know, oldies over 40 still have, y'know, sort of, relations.

Shouldn't there be a federal law to stop the practice?

It might put their children off sex completely.

Don't worry Glynndah. My age is a big secret (only because the kids kept asking) and they've guessed everything from eighteen to fifty-six. They have no concept of time, so for them there's : baby, kid, teen, and old.

 

[hmmnmm]

Until about six months ago I knew more than anyone over __.
Then, like overnight, something shifted, and nobody under __ knows shit.

I think you look great...

 

[JamesSD]

"Old" is, and always has been, about 20-25 years older than me. Luckily, at this rate I'll never be old!

LOLOLOL

You are only as old as you feel.

I base this on personal observations of course.

My Great Grandfather was 94 when he died, coming home from his 65 year old girlfriend. (I'm glad I checked that. It typed out as 5 year old GF.)

Now for a bit of humor. My grandfather when he died at the age of 72 had a thriving bussiness in NYC. We had cleared out the machinery and were left with just cleaning out the trash. Now how in the hell were we going to get rid of this? My father hit upon a novel approach. We loaded all of the trash into boxes and sealed them. We brought the first load down and set it in front of the building doors and headed back up. (These boxes were loaded with scrap paper and just plain trash which included the contents of the fridge in the break room.) When we came back down with the next load of boxes the first load was gone. Smeone had stolen them. This kept happening all day. Every box we dragged down just vanished. At the end of the day we just left the boxes at the curb and drove away.

This was the child who had to write "I will not steal salt from the lunchroom" 50 times, so I really didn't take his estimation of my age too seriously.

It is intriguing how your perception of age in others changes as you, yourself age.

When I think back on it, my school teachers were probably in their 20's and 30's, but to me as a child they were old.

But when you suddenly realize that many authority figures (eg: police, judges, politicians) are, in the main, younger than you are; that makes one stop and think.

But, in actuality; age is, to a large extent, a state of mind.

So, in that case, I should be about 25. *sigh*

Age is a state of mind.

I tell you, though. I could fuck rings around these younger folks.

Experience trumps youthful enthusiasm every time, sweetie.

And thanks for the imagery--you made my evening.

 

[Trombonus]

one of the kids I work with at the jr. high I volunteer at told me I was old yesterday while I was having a conversation with another kid about Pokemon.

 

[Boxlicker101]

You know, that Brent is a pretty sharp kid. And he's right. Those born before about 1950 would likely have B & W photos, Of course, kids that age usually think forty is old.

 

[MrsDeathlynx]

Age is only a number, it's how you feel in your heart. My grandfather was over 80 when he died, but he still did everything for himself until he slipped into the coma, still harassed my grandmother before she died and still 'snuck' into the basement for a cig as if he was going to get in trouble if he got caught, lol. He was older than me but I honestly don't consider him old because he was a kid at heart and honestly that's all that matters.

I am finding that 4 years younger than me is about as far as I want to go. It seems that any younger and they cannot keep up sexually. Either they don't know what they want, can't make up their mind, or are not adventurous enough to match me. Those within a 4 year swing, younger and older, seem to be just what I need. Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are exceptions out there, however as a general rule I find this to be true.

Besides I am so over teaching about sex, I am into exploring just how far you can go with it with a competent partner that has the same voyeuristic tendencies that I have.

I wouldn't doubt it.

Not that I'd know, damn it!

Relations

My father was 96 when he died. He was in a residential home because he suffered from short term memory loss and for example couldn't remember whether he had eaten his breakfast, or where he lived. One some days he was reasonably aware, and he could discuss events in the past, but not events of half an hour ago.

He had to be bathed by the staff because he would forget what he was supposed to be doing. He was usually embarrassed because being bathed by young women gave him an erection.

One day I asked how old he thought he was. He knew that he was over 80 years old because he could remember what he did in most of his eighties. He added "Inside I feel about 25, especially when she walks past" - indicating a well developed nursing aide of about 20.

One of my aunts was small and in her latter years fairly frail, walking with two sticks. She ran a Sunday youth club for difficult Afro-Caribbean teenagers in South London. Anyone who knows South London would understand that 'difficult' is an understatement. In her late 80s, she could draw herself up to her full 4 foot 10 inches and tell 6 foot teenagers that their behaviour was unacceptable - and they'd take it.

She also ran an advice centre for pensioners. She would come home talking about "this poor old dear" who needed help. Further enquiry would reveal that this 'poor old dear' was 20 years younger than my aunt was.

OMG...we have 'relations'?????? Its funny but when I was a teen I could never imagine my parents making love. I mean you kinda of know they do but you just cant wrap your mind around it.

You know, that Brent is a pretty sharp kid. And he's right. Those born before about 1950 would likely have B & W photos, Of course, kids that age usually think forty is old.

It depends really...I was born in the late 1950s and all the photos my parents have of me from birth up until I was 7 or 8 except for school pictures are in black and white. So while it is something of a yardstick it doesn't always apply.

 

[Chantilyvamp]

old is a state of mind...of which since my mind has been lost I'll never know what old is

 

[TxRad]

Never consider yourself old until someone wants to cut you open and count the rings....

I'm a forty year old trapped in 60 year old body... which is starting to suck and not in the good way....

I should have taken better care of myself but who listens when you are immortal......

 

[TheeGoatPig]

LOLOLOL

You are only as old as you feel.

Well that doesn't help me. My mind is simultaneously 15 and 85.

My body feels like it's 50.

I've been called 40 when I was in my late 20s still...

 

[buxxxom]

Old is constantly defined as 20 to 25 years older than me.
