it's my birthday

stupidusername

Hi all

I stood at my bed last night actually having to work out on my fingers how old I am. Just to make sure. Is it just me or does any one else seriously question how old they technically are? I can't believe the age i am. It's weird. no?

dr.bollocko

Ask your mom what age you are. She'll probably remember.
It gets really bad when you have to take your socks off to guess your age. Everything goes downhill from there.

Encoder1970

You said you were older than that

It's my birthday today... Wahey!

liah

See, when I say I'm 22, I don't feel that old.

But then, when I look at it, I've lived through four decades, two centuries, and two millenia.

..Then I feel old.

Happy Birthday .o/


Yeah, the past few years (4 or 5) have really flown by. Sometimes I get sent off kilter when I'm asked how old I am... "Erm..... ... ... .. 16? Yeah, 16"

The quoted post is a nice opener about what I was going to say on the subject.

As a child of the seventies, the year 2000 was so far away and so futuristic that it held a great fascination for many of us. Woah! What will things be like in the year 2000!! What age will I be in at the dawn of the year 2000?

Well me six year old brain worked it out. I would be 26 at the dawn of the year 2000. Having worked this out, I never questioned it again. For the next 19 years of my life, if the question or thought ever came up in conversation or discussion, my answer was always 26.

That was until the December of 1999 when I realised......

I'd still be 25 at the dawn of the new millenium. Not 26 till the end of January 2000 Six year old me made an elementary finger counting mistake and failed to recheck my finger maths for the next 19 years

When asking random internet strangers for cake, be careful to ask for delicious cake of some specific sort ... say Black Forest, or Christmas cake ... otherwise you might end up with urinal cake, which is not delicious.

You have been warned.

Happy birthday to all of you who have a birthday today:). About counting what age you are on your fingers/hands, if it makes you feel any better - I can't see my fingers!:D

You also share a birthday with Gene Hackman and Vanessa Redgrave, so it's not all bad.

I share a birthday with Madonna and George Galloway, so it could be much worse.

Oh, and happy birthday people.

TPD

I'd just got used to replying '19' when someone asked my age, then I turned 20. I'd be suprised if this becomes normal-feeling sooner than a month before my 21st.

Oh, happy birthday.

I still feel/act/look like I'm 17, but I'll be 21 in July. I celebrate my birthday with America!

Happy Birthday OP, have a great day!

stupidusername

I'm female, and i am from the "country" and yes i do need to count on my fingees! Only have ten, so it's a challenge to get to 26. EEEEK. Was just out for a bit, was going to get drinks in, didn't bother as i've no id with me. Sick of getting asked for ID. I'll get it later with my passport. I've gotten to 26 and still look like i'm 16.

phasers: If only that was my birthday last year

I think i've set myself up for disappointment when it comes to the cake portion, think i'll get one, just don't think it'll live up to my expectations.

Fago!

...it's your birthday, we're going to have a shindig like it's your birthday. we're going to sip fanta light like it's your birthday, and you know we have a adequately moderate feelings towards the fact that it is indeed your birthday.

Happy birthday OP.

For me, if someone asks me my age, I tend to go, "I'm 26" and then realise that I'm only 25, that my birthday isn't till August. Because right off, I think my birth year and current year. So, yeah, I'm pretty much the same way as you. I've been like that at least the last two years. Maybe three. I don't know for sure to be honest.

Interesting little fact - a person giving evidence in court cannot normally say how old they are because it is hearsay. If it has to be proven, they need to bring their mother to court.

Or their birth cert? This can't be right. My mother died last year so guess i can make up what age i want to be....

Birthcert alone is also hearsay because its a document (although can in some circumstances be proved). Would have to have someone who actually witnessed the event, although it is rarely a big issue in most cases.

no cake yet . . . . .

Whenever I tell my mum what age I am she gets really defensive and says 'no you're not that old'!!!
