I'll be 34. Which is so mid-thirties, and not hardly "early" 30s at all. Scary.
I'm turning 33 this year and realized the other day that I was mentally categorizing 30 year-olds as "really young." (My neighbor asked me how old our new babysitter was and my knee-jerk response was "She's really young" and then I realized she was probably only a year or two younger than me.)
Ha ha, you guys are making me laff. We are all a decade older! How did that happen?!!
I blame MM - wasn't he supposed to be working on a time machine?
I suspect a small miscalculation on MM's part made time go faster instead of transporting us, but I'm sure he'll get the kinks worked out... in time.
I think of 30 year olds as really young. I still think of Jessica and Meara as really young, actually.
I'll be 39 this year, but I've been thinking of myself as 40 for so long that it's silly.
Did I mention, Noah calls me Old Mom? (K is young mom...) It comes up when we are playing games because you go from youngest to oldest and I always go last.
Did I mention, Noah calls me Old Mom?
Aw! Do you call them Old Twin and Young Twin?
ita especially will be upset by this if she hasn't seen it: [link] I don't see many actual pictures, but the concept of the hashtag alone is horrifying enough, I think....

My sisters and I call my mother Witch, or Mother Witch, or MW because when we were little and my sisters were fighting over where they wanted to go out to dinner she got fed up and announced she was taking everyone home to have Witch Burgers.
Conclusion: Watch out for what names stick!
Signed, Mother Witch's daughters - Whale, Kritters and Hank.
Sparky, I totally looked for a "like" button on that post. My parents don't have nicknames, but us kids are Spaniel, Sledgehammer, and Julious Chelchild.
I literally couldn't remember how old I was the other day when the eye doctor's assistant asked me. I said "43" and then was like, "No...wait...that's not right." I had to do the math in my head because I could at least still remember the year and month I was born. I'm not 43 for another couple of months! sheesh. Aging brain!
I always have the impulse now to "like" stuff online and off! It's amazing how quickly something can feel as natural as breathing.
My children have decided that my nickname is "Peaches." I am SO NOT A PEACHES I CANNOT EVEN TELL YOU.
