Ow! That hurts!   How about being able to recount '40s, '50s and '60s events as current "been there, was in that"?  Or having the doctors worried because they are afraid you are going to outlive them!

Well, dang!👹😂😀!  My youngest has done said Bye, Bye to 40!  Not to say that I am old, but I was out for a training walk, the other day and some of the mountains said "Hey! There goes our older brother!"👹   'Course, a mountain never lies, may stretch the story a mite, though!

Well, I had a concrete contractor around this morning, guy about 40. He stuck out his hand and said," How are you this morning, young fella." That made me feel old.
