You're getting old when...

the thought of Peeps (which you previously would steal from your siblings' Easter baskets and let dry out until they were the right consistancy) now makes you shudder. Perhaps it is the excessive sugar content? Or that Peeps might pull out a cap and result in another dreaded visit to the dentist? And why are Peeps in so many colors and shapes? Chicks, people...yellow chicks!

And why is it that hyacinths today do NOT smell like they did when you were younger? Have they gone the way of the great tomatoes of my youth? Or the roses that would fill a room with their scent? And I know for a fact it is not MY olfactory glands...I can still smell a skunk for a mile, the scent of gas leaking, even the occasional "leak" from my dog!
