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.

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

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

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

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!"

Mentally I'm 22 and just getting married...physically I'm 90.

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

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.

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)

Its true age is just a number, its better to weigh every time you do live
