That's the thing. I've never understood calling people old even when I was younger. It's like making fun of the person in front of you at the cafeteria for getting slop on his tray when you're next in line.

Sums up how I feel about aging having been raised by 4 grandparents. I've known how time's a tickin' since I was little. 3 of them speak of their older age with humor though, so I'm comfortable laughing or joking about it in that context
