      To be fair I felt old at 23 but wasn’t.

      I’m starting to think the fact I feel old now is a little misguided too.

    1990 is pretty easy too, I just add 10 the the last 2 digits of the current year and subtract 1 if it’s before August

    Just because you’re old, it doesn’t automatically mean you’re wise.

    I know lots of older people with years of experience that are just as dumb as they were when they were 18.

      There’s that joke about using months for your kids age way past a normal range, but the other day I figured out the benefits of the month based age system. I was asked how old my child was and was questioning my sanity. " 2? 3? Uhh… 2.5…" I mean 6 months is 25% of a two year olds life. To add to that, the 9 months of pregnancy, the late nights of screaming and crying that make you forget what year it is.

      At least when you count the months you are within a close range when you get it wrong. Saying your kid is 2 or 3 years old is like saying your grandpa is either 66 or 99.

    Yeah, I catch myself sometimes doing “how old was I 🤔”… I know that I’m above 35 and below 40, but was I 37, 38 or 39 🤔 😂.

    do ppl really forget what year it is after the spring??

    and the meme isnt saying 2000 is old, it’s saying the math is easy
