Signs You’re Past Your Prime

5…while putting away your clean laundry you notice a tear along a seam of a pair of underwear and put it in a drawer anyway (I’ve now learned why it’s called a pair of underwear or a pair of pants. You’ll have to look it up yourself)

9…speaking of daughters, when asked her age you respond”27, 28, 29?”

10…you start getting invitations like this:
