Have I gotten old this year?


This last week I celebrated my 34th birthday. I have had a tradition the last ten years to eat a Funfetti rainbow chip birthday cake. Not just a piece of cake but an entire cake to celebrate the day of my birth. I usually have some for breakfast, snacks, lunch etc. This year however it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as usual. In fact I didn't even make it through the whole cake. Am I getting OLD? I mean I even have gray hair. Ok. so that's not too big of a deal since I started going gray in high-school thanks to the Checketts pre-maturing gray gene. So I started thinking of reasons why I am not old.

1. I still eat Captain Crunch or Coco Puffs every morning. ( old people eat special K )

2. I have a PB&J every day for lunch (old people eat things like KusKus)

3. My favorite birthday present was a CASE of sprinkles. I mean what old person gets excited about "Bugs and Dirt" sprinkles. (they like bath oils and stuff)

4. One of my favorite shows is Phineas and Ferb ( Well, actually this show is good for all ages )

So just because I can't eat a cake in one day doesn't suggest I am old, just that maybe my Pallet is maturing.

    You are definitely not old, or I will be too in a few more months! I've never eaten ahole birthday cake in my entire life. Sounds like a fun tradition to start though.

    You're definitely not old, because old people know how to spell "Cous Cous" and "palette".
