You know you are old......
 
........when looking up the route from Evesham to Pickering on Google maps doesn't mean anything at all. So you spend $7 and buy a Collins Road Map of the UK and 30 seconds looking at and you know the way.

...when, no matter how hard you try, you just can't get your head around an invitation to a 'gender reveal' party from your niece :blink:

When you walk away from your car carrying the keys so the engine must be off. Only when you get back the engine is still running. Whoever thought stop/start buttons were a good idea should be shot.

It's the weirdest thing Lansbury, and very popular among parents-to-be. It goes like this:
Have an ultrasound to determine the gender of the baby
Have the results sent directly to the 'gender reveal' provider of your choice (the parents don't find out the result)
Make a date and place for the gender reveal party
The company brings a huge cardboard box
When the couple open it in front of their family and friends, either blue or pink helium balloons float out. Everybody squeals.

:blink:

I guess someone was going to find a way to make money from a babies gender. My eldest son and his wife just told the hospital they didn’t want to know. We all found out when she and he were born. My son was the gender reveal provider, he sent me a picture.
