I call myself old. I think you have tons of energy. Of course I can see where she would be coming from, though, because with four kids you have lots of things that require your energy.

@GardenGerty Yeah my energy felt fine until she said that!

4 children do require my energy but it just comes so naturally to me that I don't feel like being a mother is a lot of work. =)

Seen from an 18 years I am not surprised. But take advantage of her offer. I am old and I have white hair, so there is no mistaking here for me.

@marlina I can't believe how many of y'all suggested that!

Too funny. =) I think old comes from how we feel or act not a number or color of hair.

I guess I am old. The first time I knew it was when we were talking about Ann Margaret who played in Elvis movies. My kids asked, "Who's Ann Margaret?" Yep, ancient. Other proofs, how did I feel when they invented electricity, did I ever ride on a dinosaur, and did I ever get a letter by Pony Express?

in our society, when you reach 18 years old, you are considered an adult and so you are old too.

Her intentions were good! All through my life I have kept moving the goalposts as to what age I consider old. I have to say that it's always well ahead of wherever I am, and that includes now. I'm 76, and I think perhaps 90 is old!

@jabouk I really think being old is a mind set not a number. There are 35 year old's who act "old" even though they are considered young by number. I am very young at heart and I think I will always feel younger than what I actually am. =) Plus I surround myself with little ones which helps too I am sure.

I remember when my cousin turned 17 and I thought 'wow that's so grown up and older!' But when I got to that age, I was shocked at how young it really is.

I guess it depend on the person(?) I'm 20 and I think people over 30 are quite old, but to my parents, 50 years old are considered young. Other than physical age, there are old spirited teenager and young spirited old folks like my aunt :)
