The day you look in the mirror and see your mother (or father) looking back at you.
If you're looking for a number, I always considered 40 to be middle age. It's creeping frightfully closer.
I posed the question because a good friend calls herself middle aged and she is just this side of sixty. The ruler moves the older you get, I think ...
I haven't recognized the person in the mirror for sometime...
Well, I've come to realize that everyone has a point when their internal clock stops ticking. You may get older, but in your mind you are always the same age, whatever that might be.
Hey, there's a 6-word question there somewhere...
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?

Well, I don't want to live to see 100. 80's fine. But the thought that I've been middle aged for almost 10 years now makes my skin crawl.accidentaltourist says,
