I'm getting old enough I forget how old I am.

Thought I was turning 38 tomorrow, turns out I'm gonna be 39. :'(
I had to do the math using calculator in Windows. Anyone else in this boat?

I was born in 1980, so my age is very easy to recall just by noticing what year we're in. I don't think I'll ever forget it. Not sure if this is a good thing or not.

Happens to be all the time and in fact after i turned 21 i did not care what age i am because of that milestone that I had to catch myself from saying 21 for several years. I thought i was turning 39 this year but it turns out i will only be 38.

Age for the most part is meaningless therefore there is no incentive to remember it after you hit 21.

i was using one of those fat meter things at the gym the other day and when it asked for age it took me a second to think about it. i knew i was between 32 and 33, but it wasn't just instinctively.

I was reading an article the other day that described a 65 year old car accident victim as "elderly". My dad is 63 and I don't think he would be impressed if they called him elderly. Somehow made me feel old too.

I turn 30 next year though I don't look it. I still get weird looks at the liquor store.

I kept thinking I'm 26 when I'm 27 because at times I forget. I probably forget on purpose so I don't remind myself I'm getting older and could be missing out on a lot of things.

Sounds about right.
Someone will remind you when you turn 50 though, you will think "that ain't right"

In my case, I eventually reached an age where it just didn't matter anymore and had to think about how old I was. I do tend to remember milestone years which for right now are decades.

Same age. Same "struggle" to remember. Some things are better left uncontemplated.

Ha! That started with me when I was 38 or so :D

I wonder at what age you stop saying "and a half".

"I'm twelve and a half years old!"

Memento-style tattoos all over your chest showing your age are the only solution.
