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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

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.

Punishingly Intricate

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!

Our wings are not tired.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Maybe I'll have a big party for 40...or better yet, be able to take a trip with my girlfriends. 3 of us turn 40 in a three month window.

My college roommates and I all turn 40 this year, within a month of each other (June 23-July 28), and we had said we were going to get together to celebrate our birthdays, but we kind of dropped the ball on that. I mean, we can still do it, but it won't be in June or July.

Hell, Tim is trying to plan a party for my 40th, and it's becoming comical how late it's going to be. There are big events and/or vacation and/or holidays on every weekend between now and mid-July. So it seems it's going to be mid-to-late July before I get to celebrate with our friends. (But, honestly, Tim and I leave for the beach the day after my birthday, and that's a fine damn celebration, IMO.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My nicknames among my siblings included such efforts as Wilbur, Wildebeest and Bilbo Baggins. I returned the favour with Steady Job Boy, Cowboy Bebop and Beast Rabban.
