You know you are 46 when ...

1) You look around in a movie theater (while waiting to get tickets to the Iron Lady who you know ONLY old people would watch) and realize that you and your friend are the OLDEST people there.

2) You find yourself bruised and have no idea how it happened.

3) You know who "The Smiths" are/were.

4) You dread the word "bifocals" more than any other word in the English dictionary.

5) You find yourself eating the same things most of the time because any foray into untapped dietary territory provokes incredible GI distress.

6) Your running playlist includes Michael Jackson, Erasure and Depeche Mode.

7) You find yourself looking for creative ways to hide forehead lines - bangs!

8) You can name every actor in The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink.

9) You are still a little bit in love with Andrew McCarthy

10) Everytime you travel you actually ask the hotel, before making a reservation what kind of mattresses they have otherwise you end up sleeping horizontally across the headboard, because that is the only place where the mattress is decent and sleep hygiene is a top priority.

11) You can discipline with one look.

12) You pump up the volume in the car and loudly sing along to Tear for Fears "Shout".

13) You start to think that maybe just maybe you are actually beginning to look a LOT like your mother.

14) You have the self confidence to say EXACTLY what you mean.

15) You'd rather have a good brain than a good rack.
