My mother-in-law who is in her 60s thinks she's "too young" to be called grandma. She's being a little bit tongue-in-cheek, but I routinely hear people say, "oh he was so young" after some 65-year-old celebrity dies of a heart attack. Increasingly, I just have no idea what's going on in people's heads when they think about age. Sixty is not "young." Thirty-five is not "young" with respect to fertility.
People need to get a grip on their mortality, man.
- SoftTalker 4y agoYep. I'm in the latter half of my 50s and defintely don't feel young, at least physically. 60 is getting old. Anthing past 70 is a gift, IMO.
- PakG1 4y agoAnd yet, we have presidential candidates in their 80s and Americans seriously don't prefer younger candidates to win their primaries for whatever reason. Something is really messed up there.
- SoftTalker 4y agoI agree. I'd love to see mandatory retirement at 65 for elected offices.
