I'm not that old

My grandsons think I am ancient. When they were here visiting a couple of weeks ago my 7 year old grandson asked me how old I was. I told him if he took his age which was 7 and add a zero to it he would have my age. He thought about it for a minute and then looked at me with eyes as big as a saucer and said "That's really old." I guess through 7 year old eyes it is pretty old. Looking at it from my 70 year old eyes it seems sort of like a drop in the bucket. I may feel every bit my age some days but there are days when I feel as young as a girl. What about those who are in their social security years. Do you feel as old as your age? Actually, to me age is just a number. Image is from lovethispic

In my case, it depends on the behaviour of my body on a certain day.

A cute photo. I never have thought much of my age. I don't take the numbers too seriously to be honest. I feel really old on some days, but not on others.

I have never been one to concentrate on the number. I think age is what you feel. Some days old some day young.

I am the youngest in my family. One of my sisters can still walk miles. I'm trying to get back to walking a half mile without thinking about back pain etc.

In the eyes of a seven year old, seventeen is old, while for a seventeen year old, fifty could be old while for a fifty year old, seventy is old! I am 71 and I do feel old now!

love the image though. well for him 70 is on the higher end of the measurement tape, that's why he thinks that 70 is very old. LOL

I can remember thinking that 50 was old when I was a child. Now, 50 seems young to me.

To a 7-year-old, the idea of double diggits is strange to them. My husband says it's all in the mind.

I don't think of it that way, 71 is how many years I've been on this earth but I still do the yard work I used to do only a little slower which is normal, at least I still have the strength to get most of the work I need to do done.

I still get up and go when I can. Years ago I was basically told by a doctor that I would never make it to collect social security. I proved him wrong.

I feel all the stupid things that I did in my youth some days and other days, I feel fit as a fiddle. The reminders of aging are sometimes subtle and sometimes blunt. My grandson was visiting and we were filling a pool. I took my shirt off and he said "Wow grampa, the skin on your back looks brand new!"

What a great grandson you have. I think for some of us mind the signs of aging more than others. A friend of mine was one of those people who became depressed when she turned 40, 50, 60...

No, I don’t feel as old as my age. For me, it is also just a number. I have a younger friend who’s 43 years old and has more pain in her body than me.

I think the physical issues make you feel older than you are.

Kids are so cute, and they say the darndest things. Some days I feel my age, and when I go to the nursing home, and see some of the people I used to work with, then I don't feel so old

To me keeping youthful is important, the mentalities are more important than physical in a way.

Body is important too. You are right. No point of having a 30 years old mind when you have a 90 years old body and you are actually 50 years old.

I believe the same thing. If your body doesn't cooperate you and your mind is still good then they are worlds of things that you can accomplish.

Some days I feel like a hundred but most days I don't feel my age (74) That's really funny about your grandson. My grandson is now 16 and he's started calling me Boomer (of course it's a joke)

I don't think that age keeps you from doing what you want in life.
