@wilma If you lived with my husband you would know all this. Being a numbers guy he is always saying things like this. And "you were THIS (put in a number) old when (something happened.).

You soon learn to say "SHUT UP" a lot.

That first one is me for sure. Sometimes my kids will mention a TV show and I say, "How do you know about that; that was the 70s." Nope it was the 90s.

I was just talking about this the other day.

When someone mentions something about "20 years ago", I'm thinking mid-80s. When I realize it was actually the 2000s, it's frightening! 😄

My daughter told me the other day-she was born in the 1900's-----had to look at her and ask what the heck ??? Well she WAS born in the 1900's---in 1982---she thought that was hilarious----must be her fathers humor gene taking over-------
