Confirmation that I am Elderly

1- I usually drive The Boy to school in the morning, dropping him off on my way to work. I was sick today, however, and by the time I realized I wouldn't be able to make the drive without a barf bag, it was too late to arrange a ride for him. So . . . he took a city bus. All by himself. Granted, I was with him on his cell phone every step of the way, but he did it.

2- I dragged my feverish self to his basketball game this afternoon, because his dad couldn't go and I felt one of us should be there. One of the girls in his class came up to me during the game and ASKED ME FOR A PAD. A PAD! I've known this girl since she was two years old, and now she's getting her period. Her second one.

I am ancient.
