I refuse to grow up!

Flash back about 3 years to a playground and a small child.

me: I'm coming up the ladder behind you.
child: No, this is just for kids.
me: But I'm a kid (at heart).
child: No, you're a grown up.

ouch.

Then today I went to get my eyes checked because it seems to be getting harder to read - particularly a few weeks ago trying to read to the same (no longer so small) child.

Dr: Your eyes are fine. Your prescription has not changed. Try taking your glasses off to read... and maybe find a brighter light.

There were also phrases such as "2-5 years before bifocals" and "normal for your age"

Translation: you are just starting to get old.

Mom just laughed.
