I was told by my cousins (14 & 15) that I'm REALLY old just yesterday. I tried to explain my bouncing rubber ball of life theory to them but they don't get it.

Here's the theory...

When you bounce a rubber ball it bounces high and with each bounce it bounces lower and faster than the bounce before. Life is like this. When you're a child, a year seems like a very long time, and the older you get the faster the years go by until it seems like they're whizzing by faster than you can believe. You don't feel older inside, but your body starts having trouble doing the same things you did before easily. It takes longer to recover from injuries, etc.
