That's a great picture.... it could only be better if the cat were waving it's cane in a threatening manner and wearing a nightgown and hot rollers

I think it is starts when people say things such as ....

Now a days I see kids sitting on their butts watching tv or playing video games on bright sunny days when they should be outside playing.

As soon as that nowadays creeps into your vocabulary...you're it!

I had to climb 3 of these massive snow hills to cross the street at my dads place in PEI!!! it was insane.. + I was wearing Jeans, a sweater, a ball cap & gloves. As it was warm weather to me, cause Ottawa has much colder weather

I think you are old when you start thinking, or worse, saying out loud something to the effect of: "I don't know what the heck is wrong with these kids today. This generation is headed to hell in a handbasket. Now, when WE were kids, OTOH ..."

Speaking for myself only, I use the phrase "youth of today" purely as a euphemism.

When one recognizes that, one is past the age limit.

Interesting. In the past few years, since I had grandchildren - I often catch myself referring to "youth" and talking about the way my life was "when I was your age", speaking about people in their twenties and early thirties. My husband is a school teacher and so he often talks about the "kids" of highschool age. So it seems that to me, "kids" are still in school and then become "young people" until about late thirties and then they are "adults" for the next 25 years or so. Then comes "older person" and then "elderly" at about 80 or so....

I guess the posters who said that when we start using phrases like the title of this thread - then we are probably past that age limit whatever it is - like I said for me, it happened only a few years ago when I hit my fifties. I guess I felt quite young myself until little people started calling me "meemaw & mamma". I have to chuckle when my 28 year old son talks about "kids these days!!" even though I think he is joking.

It still startles me a bit when I hear myself referring to a younger age group
