Am I now officially "old"?

Last night I went out for dinner with my (younger) neighbours when I tripped (I was wearing heels for the first time in months). They immediately lunged towards me to try to catch me and looked very concerned!

In the past I think people would laugh and say something along the lines of that should only happen after I had a drink!

So as the subject heading says - am I now officially "old"

My elderly aunt, in her 90s, and in a care home used to refer to her fellow residents dismissively as all those old dears in the the living room. Some were of course 20 years her junior - which might be a warning to M et Mme Macron!
