Well, drivers licenses don't work on their own. He'll need a car. Give your son the clunker and go buy a fancy red sportscar. That is what I plan to do to counter my aging.

7. ...the TV has more than two channels (I'm a swede) and people laugh at you for saying there were only two channels when you grew up and that was more than enough.
8. ...you're using phrases like: "when I was a kid".
9. ...your kids get their driver's license.
10. ...you actually spend time pondering existential questions.

Oh man! I guess I am old then. I mean, it seems like yesterday when
Gorbachyov worked to end the cold war. Surely they knew who Gorbachyov is,
right? I mean, only one of the most influential and important political
leaders of all time. Tell me I'm not that old.
I need a beer. 😞
