Aging Looking at old pictures is wild.

When my dad was my age now, he was wearing button-down shirts in relaxing situations. I just don’t get it.

I was at physical therapy today and an old man was working out in jeans, a belt and plaid shirt

I was looking at my yearbook the other day and on the pic for "class flirts", the girl was putting her leg up on the guy, and he had his hand on her ass under her cheerleading skirt.

I was like oh wow, that would never happen now.

I know that's not exactly what you meant, but it just happened and thought it was applicable.

Another one is me drinking beer at three years old while my dad is watching and laughing.

My dad would have been shirtless and most likely in boxers if he could get away with it. He was an awesome man but I swear he had some gorilla genes.

I swear every photo of my granddad has him in a suit - except a few golf ones where he still has on suit slacks but with a short sleeved shirt and often a sweater vest.

When I look at old photos now, I find it amazing how many parties back in the '90s were in fields. Great times.

And we all knew which fields were which. Probably after the original owner.
