Desertgrandma, I´ve already told you, I think you are very young at heart.

I wouldn´t mind being considered much younger, Marc. Imagine you go to a movie theater and the girl sitting on the cash desk offers you a "aged 60+" discount. That was what happened to me once (I was the cashier, not the customer, but that man was really pissed, he showed me his ID card, he was 49
). That was about 18 years ago, I was real bad in estimating someone´s age by that time.
I´m 36, but most of the time I either feel much younger or much older.
My kids frequently make me feel like I am 4, especially when we´re digging for earthworms in the garden or ambush our neighbour´s cat with fully loaded squirt guns.
Then there are some teenage kids of friends and relatives who make me feel like I was 16 again. A couple of weeks ago, I accompanied one 15-year-old to the premiere of "Twighlight" (her parents refused to do so) and I had to wait two hours to see that actor, I even can´t remember his name now, and believe me he´s not as handsome as all those screaming girls made me think
.
Some of my clients at work make me feel like burned-out 50. And sports made me feel like 86 yesterday when I tried Airboarding for the very first time (climb up a mountain, jump on an air mattress and sledge down while you try to avoid trees; today I feel like I´ve been put through the winger ...).
