So where does that leave me and what am I supposed to do now?
How do you act your age?

Pipe, slippers, a cup of Horlicks...
Growing up is over-rated.
You're as old as you feel. I feel 20, I act 20. I'm actually 60!

Screw them!
And make sure you leave them smiling ;)

Act the age you feel you are in your head
So I'm staying 29, acting the prat, being a nuisance and generally ignoring authority
(I was a late developer !)
That age changes depending on what I am doing.
There is nothing wrong with acting the prat, being a nuisance and generally ignoring authority. I have been told that it it is part of growing up:-)
I think Adam is as old as the women he feels.

Well
I tend to take the year I was born away from the year that the calendar displays, divide it by 7 and take it from there
Pay no attention.
By farting, taking a step backwards & inhaling.
That makes me 30.
Its all rubbish, men never grow up so I do not see the point of trying to act as if we have grown up. Brian
Suitably bollocked - and be an even bigger prat than you are now just to annoy 'em. I did that after an argument with a couple of cantankerous clients just before I retired some 12 years ago - and hell the feeling was great!
As disgracefully as possible - especially if you are past the time you start to receive your old age pension - it's called regression into childhood. Would that apply to you yet? ;-)
Oh FFS
That's just what a woman says to man when she can't think of anything intelligent to say, has temporarily run out of convenient lies, and you are expecting her to grow up and act her age.
Warning - When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple
By Jenny Joseph
?When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired
and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
and run my stick along the public railings
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick the flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit.
?You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at a go
or only bread and pickles for a week
and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.
?But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
and pay our rent and not swear in the street
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
ROTFL
Bloody hilarious that TNP, thanks for posting it.
And can still be as physically active, strength and stamina, as you were at 20? I try to be but normally pay for it the next day with a few aches...
One of SWMBO's favourites, and she has sworn to live by it.
I've been celebrating my 19th birthday for quite some years now.
That's just what people who have died inside tell themselves to get through another day. I'd rather be a foolish child than a miserable prick for the 80 years that I have a choice.
