At the time of my wedding, I was 150 years old. The temperature on my thermostat was set at 150 degrees, and although it moved a few pounds in either direction, I would assume that was me.

How Old Is Your Body? Discover with a One-Leg Balance Test
According to a recent study, the time you can stand on one leg is the greatest indication of physical aging. So I was lying in bed the other night, trying to see my phone, and I began whining to my wife about how my eyesight continues getting worse, and then how stiff I feel when I get up in the morning, and how a recent injury is taking too long to recover, and she answered, "Well, well, you’re 44. That’s when things start to go downhill.”

No Sleepovers
I gripped the party invitation in my hand. I was so excited to be invited over for a slumber party. I had to figure out a way to get my parents to say yes to this. I knew that they would say no.

So I rushed home and did all that, exactly that and I would avoid showing them my latest failing grade until after. It was all planned. I came into the kitchen and offered to do the dishes. My mom had just finished up, so no dishes for me to do.
