How can my cousin, born in 1987, be graduating from high school?

[Bouncy Ball]

HOW?

That's not possible, is it? Sheesh. 1987 was just....a few years ago, wasn't it?

Mostly I like getting older, it's better than the alternative, but sometimes it just sneaks up and bites you on the ass. Got the graduation announcement in the mail and it had a picture and I thought "Who the hell is THAT?" (Haven't seen them in several years.)

Then I realized it was that little girl who used to bug the shit out of me at family get-togethers.

Where's my acid washed jeans? "Wake me up, before you go-go, don't leave me hangin' on like a yo-yo!"

21. What should I say? I graduated high school in 1956!

Sometimes it seems like a long time ago,

Sometimes it seems like just yesterday -----

2. It's linked to John Titor and time travel

Spacetime is warped beyond our understanding. As far as I recall, 1987 was, like, 5 years ago, man.

[Bouncy Ball]

3. Yeah, it was maybe seven years ago at the MOST, right?

Not....uh.....18?????

7. 7, 8 tops!

I still have my skinny black leather tie... and I'm a woman :-)

5. How can my son born in 1991

be going into high school in less than 4 months. How did that happen. . .Huh. . .?

[Bouncy Ball]

6. YIKES!!!

Thanks for freaking me out even more!

:scared:

[stellanoir]

16. sorry but I'm pretty freaked about it as well

I've been counseling college and high school kids for well over a decade. I used to chuckle when they were born in the 70's and were the ages of my older friends' kids. Then they were born in the early eighties and I'd think they were very near the ages of my godchildren. Now they're within a couple years of my own kid and it boggles my mind.

My how time can fly !!!

8. How can *I* born in 1984 have turned 21?

When I just remember my graduation (2002) like it was just yesterday?

Before you know it, I'm going to be OOOOLLLLD (25). :D

9. My Daughter graduates this

year,seems like only yesterday I was at the hospital.Now she's all grown up boo hoo!

[Taverner]

10. Hmmmm 1987

Yes I had a pair of acid washed jeans, no I will not show you the picture....


And I had my hair parted in the middle, feathered....mini mullet in back....

[Lisa]

11. know what you mean -- my brain still thinks it's 1992 ...

When I look at the birthdates of my 3rd-year college class, I can't help thinking they should still be in day care! How can this be? 20 years since I graduated from high school? How the hell did that happen?

[SmileyBoy]

18. I'm still living in 1998 myself.

I still haven't fully grasped the concept of the 21st Century yet.

[usedtobesick]

13. Even worse my son is graduating

He was born in 87, I don't see how that works since I am only 20.... well in my mind anyway.

[Jamastiene]

14. I graduated from high school in 1988.

I remember a kid was born that year to my boss at the time. I assume she'll be graduating soon too. I'm getting old now, complete with memory loss and everything. Ain't it great? Not. I used to think it would be great until I started getting there. Now, I'm not so sure.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Like...OH MY GOD! It is like so totally boge to think about that!!!

Where's my shoulder pads? Like, I can't take it. Psssst...my daughter was born in 1990 and is soon to be a high school sophmore. It sucks, eh?

***The Salvation army band played...and the children drank lemonade...and the morning lasted all day...all day...

Man I played that over and over...and moped. ;)

[SmileyBoy]

17. Hell, I'm 22 and I REMEMBER 1987!!!

Now it's getting scary, because I'M starting to get old...

[geniph]

19. Don't look at me, my stepson's graduating next month too

and that's my YOUNGER stepson! And I graduated ten years before he was born!

I shall go sit in my rocker and cackle at the cats now.

[Mizmoon]

23. LOL

:)

[July]

20. Yeah, we're old.

I have a kid born in 1985, which makes him -- eek! -- 20. I am just not that old.

[ghostsofgiants]

22. Ahhh, 1987...

A year I don't remember at all.
