One Day When I Feel Aged

(31/03/2013)

When my sister tells me about her idol
I think I was like that 
When I bragged about my fave band rascal 
Ok, I’m older now

When my brother asks me to help him with his assignment 
Well nobody helped me when I was in college, so I say no
Wait, that must have been as-many-as-his-age ago
Dear God, I’m old 

When my student holding her birthday card
That big colorful number 4 stares at me behind glitters ridge
Wow, that multiplied by at least 9 will go near my age
DAAAAANG! I am that old!

---------------------

Well sometimes I feel this way, but life is too fun to fill with this kind of thing, rite? :D
