COPYPASTA WARNING (but it's worth it)

---

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids?

If you're less than ten years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
"How old are you?"
"I'm four and a half."
You're never 4 and a half ....You're four going on 5.

You get into your teens; now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number.
"How old are you?"
"I'm gonna be 16."
You could be 12, but you're gonna be 16. Eventually.

Then the great day of your life: you become 21.
Even the words sound like a ceremony. You BECOME 21....Yes!!

Then you turn 30.
What happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. What's wrong? What changed? You BECOME 21; you TURN 30.

Then you're PUSHING 40... stay over there.

You REACH 50.

You BECOME 21; you TURN 30; You're PUSHING 40; you REACH 50. Then you MAKE IT to 60.

By then you've built up so much speed, you HIT 70.
After that, it's a day by day thing. You HIT Wednesday...

You get into your 80's; you HIT lunch, you HIT 4:30.
My Grandmother won't even buy green bananas. "Well, it's an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one."

And it doesn't end there....

Into the 90's, you start going backwards. "I was JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens; if you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half."

^ Awww

Is everyone JUST realizing this? owo

30 really isn't that old. It's still young...in fact, that's the (average) age our bodies (specifically, our brain) have reached full maturity.

40 needs to stop being "Pre-Senior" age. Like seriously, that's not OLD either...Maybe a few grey hairs pop up and a line or two can be seen on your face, but that's no reason for an "old" label.

50...Congratulations! You made it half way through your life! Took you a long time to get here, didn't it? Well don't slow down yet, you have 30-50 more years to go!

If society didn't put a stereotype on age, I wonder if people wouldn't make such a big deal about it?
Childhood has a lot of milestones....A person changes a lot in 2 years from 14 to 16...but not so much from 30 to 32.
Perhaps children want to grow up so badly so that they stop getting stereotypical labels for their age, too?
