DEAR ABBY: I would like to add this "tragic" experience to your "You know you're getting old when ..." collection. (Yes, it happened to me!)
You know you're getting old when your son greets you by saying, "Hi, Mom. I just joined AARP!" -- FEELING OLD IN ARKANSAS
DEAR FEELING OLD: Don't let it get to you. I hear they're taking 'em younger and younger.
