Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, aged doesn't start until you hit the 60s.

Except my parents are in their sixties and a dear friend is in his 70s and they aren't.

So.

Aged doesn't happen until you are dead.

I decree it.

Of course, I could resist giving my SIL shit when she forgot her age and was appalled to figure out she was 24. Hello, she has a 2 year old. 24 is not old. (I think it was more that she blanked on her age that freaked her out.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

She used to be a prodigy. It's sad, really.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There, there, ita. At least you have your health.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't like being the age I am for one reason -- I should have done more, and it makes it apparently I wasted time.

Which is totally an issue of mine.

Mine too.

I will personally kick you and your smart mouth off my lawn.

Watch your back.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I wish I looked a bit older, just because it seems like a lot of people will look at me and treat me as a teenager, and it gets aggravating.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Now that my grey hair is beginning a geometric progression, I find that I actually like it better than when I was younger. But I'm well aware that the angle I look at myself in the mirror is by far the most flattering viewpoint available. Which leads to much scurrying whenever someone cracks out a camera, to avoid wincing at the results later on.
