phew what about a little light relief from the smacking thread!

I have two:

1 having to get up every night about 2 or 3am to pee (very depressing)

2 my boobs having actual bodily contact with my stomach

where did I read this, was it on MN? When you apply eyeliner, you get missed bits as your skin is so saggy around the eye. Sigh.

You bend down to pick something up and think "What else can I do while I'm down here".

you spend more time plucking your chin than your eyebrows

when bending down or getting up out of a low chair an involuntary moaning sound escapes your lips.

...you think that Ds1's reception teacher looks about 18, and when you say it out loud you sound just like your mum.

I was in a pub with dh a couple of months ago and there was a group of students all sitting near us. I said to dh that I felt I was like one of their peers, look like them, dress like them, and that I could almost go over and blend in.

He looked at me like this

last one before I actually turn back into a responsible parent and collect my kids from school.

When you pass a group of teenage boys and feel slightly intimidated and a bit nervous, instead of checking out which one you fancy.

When you would never consider sitting on the pavement.

A coupe of years I reaised I was old...
Friends started intorducing me to their 22 year old daughters to give them advice.

1: My friends have 22 yo daughters

2: I'm so old, and obviously harmless that men are quite happy to introduce me to their pretty young daughters.

A doctor I saw a couple of weeks ago looked younger than my 16 year old sister, I swear. I didn't want to tell her anything in case she giggled - irrational I know, but I half expected her to start fiddling with her mobile and going "What-everrrr!"

it's hard to imagine that people younger than you actually know more than you!

Black leggings with mini skirts over the top appear to be back in fashion.....after 20 years or so.
