An adult mentioned some trend in his life "over the past ten years".  Well
gee, the past ten years _were_ my life, more or less.

(I have a running joke with my best friend, who's nine months older than I
am. for three months out of the year, we have the same age. I used to say
that, whenever he had one year up, that I was "young" and he was
"ancient." during the three months that we had the same age, we were both
"old.")

(I remember once when we were in an elevator on EMU's campus, and two
underclassmen wandered on. I asked him jokingly, "how come you're older
than I am?" he replied matter-of-factly, "because Mom had me first."
knowing that these underclassmen not only overheard this, but also pribly
noticed that my best friend and I look *nothing* alike, I found it
difficult to wait until we got off the elevator to burst out in laughter
imagining the look on the underclassmen's faces.)

(my best friend has since married, so I now say that he's "ancient" and
I'm "old," no matter the age. not being married reminds me that I'm still
young and have a lot to look forward to.)

I talked to a friend this morning, whose brother got married earlier this
month.  I went to high school with both of them, the one who got married is
a year older than me, the other one a year younger.  How strange it was to
hear my friend talk about "his brother's *wife*" He seems so much older now
that he's married and the rest of us aren't yet.
