"That old lady"

Surely, if you accept that you're old then you ARE old. I'm not letting that person in.

You're old, regardless.
All the trendy clothes and whatever makes no difference to the year you were born.

By "you", I mean "one".

There is nothing wrong with being old; it's natural.

I agree Miss A. We are what we are. Its a strange thing this reluctance to be otherwise.

Perhaps it depends on extrenal factors? I was a much older Mum than many, so I fitted in with 20 somethings when I was nearly 40.
My own parents were extremely old and I wasn't " like that"
Now I am old. It is what it is.

75 is officially old but age is but a number. When I was in my early 60's one of my granddaughters who was helping me celebrate my birthday informed me that I was 'getting to really big numbers now, Granny'.

Me?
Or "one"?

But are you old in your head?

Old people behave with decorum, don't they?

I haven't reached that stage yet so I can't be old.

What a great attitude vampirequeen!

I accept that I'm old (79) but I'm definitely not grown up ...

Since we were 50, DH and I have been growing down. We'd done the grown up stuff and it was boring so we decided that, as long as it didn't hurt anyone, we would do whatever we wanted regardless of what people thought. So if you see a rather large lady up a tree or playing in an adventure playground before the children arrive, that's probably me

When I got ill.
