"You're Old!!!" moments

[DanaC]

Went out for a meal yesterday for the birthday of a family friend. My 16 year old niece has recently discovered alcohol. Not in a big way: she's very sensible. She's always been allowed a taste/small glass of what the grownups were drinking, so it's never held huge attraction for her. But in the past 6 months she's started having an occasional drink with her mates. Usually an alcopop like Wicked.

Anyway: I went to the bar to get drinks for me, mum and the girls: wine for me and mum, coke for youngest niece....and a bottle of Wicked for eldest niece. That made me feel old :P buying a 'proper drink' for a girl whose nappy I used to change.
