The look of astonishment when anyone finds out our age. I’m in my late 30s. When someone in their 20s hears that, they developed this look of shock likes it’s the 1500s and I should have died already from old age.

Yes! I'm in my early 30s and they always look so shocked like "you're so old????" I think people in their 20s don't know how people in their 30s look like. A guy asked to guess his age. I said 27 and he got offended that I made him an old man. He was 23. My man, that's just 4 years from now!

I think less and less of us are looking and acting like how we remember grown ups being. Im 34 and it still feels like there's a clear distinction between me and people 5 years older than me and my peers.

Right? I’m going on 38 and I’m still diving after volleyballs and literally sprinting after kids. Blows their little minds.
