I realized I'm really old

I was at a pool party yesterday when a good friend of mine mentioned that her fiancee is three years younger than her. She's 46, and he's 43. Yes, I know that's not shocking. Here's what is. It dawned on me they were both born in the eighties. The Dukes of Hazzard, Magnum PI, second gen Trans Ams, the song Another One Bites the Dust, Blondie's Call Me, and Star Wars, are all older than either of them.

I felt freaking ancient. I graduated high school and was married before they were born. Hell, I was likely divorced well before they were out of diapers.

Even though a lot of life has happened to me since 1980 I still wonder. Where did all the time go?

So how about y'all? When did you realize you're freaking ancient?
