So how did this shocking revelation occur? That I am indeed, old? I found myself squelching the desire to yell solid old lady advice at the “young’ens” on the beach this weekend:
*Oh baby girl, you are so red. Go put on some sunscreen and maybe a shirt.
*Honey side-boob is just not attractive. Rein those puppies in, children can see you!
*A young man who burps the alphabet in an effort to impress you is so not boyfriend material. Move on.
*Just because there is a tattoo parlour on this beach does not mean you should giggle hysterically together, go in on mass, and get something pierced or permanently inked. What is your Mama going to say when you get home?
*You know what your girlfriend is not telling you? Last year’s bikini, it’s way too small. I’m seeing far too much of well, every thing.
I’m getting old and perhaps a little ornery. This summer should be interesting. Wonder how long until I get like my Grandma, lose my filter and start telling people OUTLOUD exactly what I think of their outfits and whether or not they should really be eating those french fries dunked in mayo?

Oh my… I did the same thing yesterday I was horrified to see a guy of considerable weight.. I’m talking way over 400 lbs…actually light up a cigarette!!! I refrained from actually giving the lecture on health… although it was extremely hard!!!
I want to go to the beach with you!
And if we see any of that going on while hanging out at BlogHer, you and I are going to speak it! 😉
Yep, you’ve crossed to the other side. Most definitely. 😉
Love the post! 🙂
I can relate – a few weeks ago the building I live in was undergoing renovations. A few of the (young male) workers would strut around outside cursing up a storm with their pants below their hips and their underwear up to their navel. I so strongly wanted to go out there, pull up their pants and tell them to tone down the language.
Good grief 🙂
I’m old with you, trust me! I’ll add to the list loud music–so sad.
I think of saying those things to kids places other than the beach!!!
What’s wrong with dipping french fries in Mayo??!! lol
I HATE going to the beach for this reason.. I’m SURE that I was NEVER one of those girls..
I wish I had an ounce of the confidence that they have though!
great post!
I lost my filter ages ago ha! I am my grandma at 31;-)
I am with you! How funny how we see things differently in just a matter of years!
I feel the same way at the beach or even the grocery stores some days.
Haha! I’m seeing all sorts of nonsense ont he beach this year. cover up, girls! (I guess I’m old too!)
hehe…my how the beach changes as we get *gasp* older…
Think I got to that stage a long time ago!!! I’ve been accused of being old-fashioned and set in my ways, but I couldn’t care less!!

You my friend are a funny thing, but I have to agree, I am far more offended by the amount of skin being aired in public these days…in my best granny voice..”cover up girlies”
