When the twenty something nurses called some older nurses grandma I made a pact with my younger colleagues that
if I reached the grandma stage,they better let me know so that
I make a quick exit but then again,I can become defensive and stubborn
to accept their feedback.

Yes there are some grandmas around at work and it can be scary

I felt old when we had children, and I had to continually warn them about the evils of their ways, which were all the ways I had attempted at their age...

I remember getting......

I'll give you something to cry about

You wait til your dad gets home

If so and so put their hand in a fire would you do it too?

And feeling old this morning, getting dressed when you try to put your socks on and realising that your arms don't reach your feet anymore - no matter how much bending is involved, so you sit on the bed instead to do it - and still groan

I've had that sort of moment...there was a cover of a Bob Marley song (Three Little Birds) on the radio and I was singing along and my daughter (12) asked me how I knew it as she recognized it from some Disney movie.
