I'm Not That Young

Seriously, I'm almost 30. There was a time, long ago, that number was middle age. Middle age! Thirty! Three-zero. Scary. Seven and a half months and I will be 30. And I still won't have my boobs because Brian has this plan to pay off all of our debt in like three years or something. Um this isn't where I was going with this.

The other day I was forwarded an email by someone at my work. You know, one of those emails that office workers forward one another. I don't have the email anymore but it was some list about being married by Red Skeleton. Above the list the sender of the email asked if I even knew who Red Skeleton was.

Hmm. No, Red Skeleton doesn't sound familiar to me. "Who is he?" I replied.

I was informed that he use to have a TV show awhile back.

Still don't know who he's talking about. I need more info. "Was the show on cable?" I innocently asked. Because if it was on cable I probably wouldn't remember. I mean there's a million cable channels these days. I don't know even half the shows that air on cable.

The response I received was somewhat confusing. "Funny! I'm not that much older than you."

"Um, I'm not sure what your talking about. Was it on cable or not?!"

Then I found out why he thought my question was humorous. "No, it was on before there was cable."

"What?" I wrote back. "You think I could remember a TV show that aired before cable? How long ago was that? How old was I? Four?"

He said I was hurting his feelings and I apologized but come on! Before cable. That's hilarous. I do remember when people in my neighborhood started subscribing to cable, but I can't even remember the year. I guess I was at least 6. Before cable!
