An inevitable impression if you are lucky enough to reach that mark. My wife or I often remarked, “the older we get, the younger they look”. Doogy Howser was just another Doctor.
My recently deceased wife and I commented about this all the time. Our son just turned 30 and she couldn’t accept that. Some of the co-workers she had would come in and comment that they remember coming to her work when they were kids and now as adults they are working there also. She worked at a Veterinary clinic as a pet groomer and she had worked there since 1989. She had groomed their pets when they were kids. I guess the farther away you are from something the less you can see it as in judging age. Because now all of the older people aren’t so old anymore.
I remember my mom telling me it didn’t bother her at all when I turned 40. However, she WAS bothered when I told her I was entering menopause. LOL At least she was prepared for when her baby turned 60 (my little sister – who is now the grandmother of 7).
Of course the younger folks are looking younger and younger all the time, but what gets me more is how so many of the “old people” don’t necessarily look all that old anymore, plus there seems to be fewer and fewer of those that I consider “old” as time passes, for some reason. Most disconcerting of all is seeing someone and me thinking they are way older than I am, and then finding out that I’m easily older than they are!

I’m 76! Anyone younger than 50 is a kid to me!

Maybe Dana could do that same thing to a certain old woman. I think she’d like that.
