I’m baby-faced which keeps me sane but that resolve was shook a couple days ago when an 18 year old (that was born the year I graduated high school) found out my age and said I was old enough to be his dad 😔
Critical hit.
It was man, I even told my wife how hard it hit me when I got home lol 😭
In a few years you'll think of how young you were when this 18 year old told you you could be their dad instead of grandpa like you'll be told in those few years.
Time scares me. I fear it.
Times gonna happen whether you fear it or not, friend.
Having. A babyface is kinda weird. 20 year olds talk to me like i had any idea what they are talking about. I'm always like: haha yeah no, i'm actually old.
The other day i was standing in line and there was a family behind me. The mom did some Smalltalk with me and just for the fact that they had kids, i talked to her like i would to an old person. Like she was giving me some weird advice for some reason. Then i put one and one together and realised that they had a child when they were 20 and he was now 10-ish and they are actually 10 years younger than me.
i'm a millennial and i have family members who are younger than i am and they are grandparents several times over now. lol
Kid wasn't even born when 9/11 happened.
I work security at a 21+ night club. I'm reminded every weekend that kids born in 2003—2 years after I graduated high school—are now turning 21.
