Signs of Being Old

If you're a little put off by what I just said, please allow me to clarify that I am officially one of those old people.

As the mom of two nearly tween daughters, I get reminded almost daily that I am not as young as I once was. I don't even want to admit how many times a week I have to Google the definition of something they just said to me, or the fact that I didn't know Tesla Cybertrucks can make farting sounds until yesterday.

Thankfully, I saw this list and felt a little better knowing I'm not alone in my ignorance.
