Setting: Saturday night at a party celebrating the big 5-0 birthday of a woman we know from church.
Me: Ummm...it's 7 o'clock, we need to start getting home.
Brent: What? The party's not over until 9!
Me: I know, but I'm getting tired...
Brent: One more song from the [live] band!
Me (a little while later): No really, I'm getting tired.
Brent: It's 7:30pm!
Me: But my bedtime's in an hour! [Pause.] I feel old.
Brent: Are you sure you aren't turning 50?
I understand. I say things like "I need to go home and knit."
