In reply to the discussion: How are we to feel young when our youngest daughter just turned 30? [View all]SwissTony
(2,560 posts)14. I was called a dirty old man once
I was driving in the town where my family lives and I saw my daughter walking towards home. I pulled up and offered her a lift and a young guy (who neither of us knew) cried out "Don't go with him. He's just a dirty old man". I must have been all of 50 at the time. I appreciated his protective sentiments but...OUCH!
I remember as a very young child thinking my friend's brothers were old. They were 18 and 20. Ah, perspective.
