I Feel Old for the First Time

I just found out on Ben Balistreri's art blog that there making a new Powerpuff Girls special. I read a few comments where fans were speculating why they decided to make a new special. One of the ideas presented was that it's going to be an anniversary special. A tenth anniversary special. The Powerpuff Girls cartoon is ten years old.
Wow. I got a chill after I realized what that meant. I remember watching the two Powerpuff Girls cartoons that played on the What A Cartoon! show. I can't believe it's already been a decade...
So, anybody else got any experiences like this they wanna share?

Ten years? Seriously? Wow.
Sir? Sir? Did... did I get knighted?
I'm still pretty young though, so it's cool.
Also, the fact that my friend's kids are starting to game on their own. :P
Also, I get called "ma'am" in stores a lot. I'm 21!!!
Edit: Though, that may just indicate a mistake on the part of the radio station...
I got called "ma'am" once. I think it was the hair.
Kids I used to teach in Sunday School when I was in high school (ages 3-5 at the time) are now all grown up, married, and have kids of their own.
EDIT: My 10-year highschool reunion was last summer. I didn't go, because I disliked that highschool and most people in it, and that part of my life in general.
I've been "sir"ed by people with at least a decade on me. I must look a hell of a lot older than I am.
A grandfather at 38 years old? Egads!
If you ever need to talk to someone, feel free to message me. Yes, that includes you.
Well, I think it is his step-child's child (children, actually, the second was just born this year), but yeah. Other classmates have kids in the 17-19 range as well, so it's not all that unreasonable.
Going into my final year of University in October makes me feel old.
Having sex with older women makes me feel old, but not in a bad way.
Seeing people from the years below me from Highschool out on a night out makes me feel old... and horribly angry... I hate them so damn much.
Generally folks use it with me in the same sort of manor. I don't see it as a sign of respect or implied maturity, it is just a slightly formal way of addressing someone.
I feel old when I realise things like I am wearing clothing older than the person I am talking to or when people I know start poping out kids.
I was at a frat party and we were chilling out in one of the brothers' rooms. I picked up a Playboy on the coffee table and flipped through it and realized I was older than the center fold girl.
I always thought classic was defined by 20 years.
I look younger than I am, especially if I shave and cut my hair. We went out a dinner theater when I was visiting my parents, and when I said I wasn't particularly hungry, the waitress said I was "a growing boy." This double sucked cause first, she was cute, and second, I'm pretty sure I was older than her. I was really tempted to order a beer just to spite her, but my mom would have given me grief. I guess I'll be glad when I'm 80 and don't look a day over 76.
I felt old for the first time when I was working in the LAN room at an anime convention, and a kid I used to babysit showed up, and he was almost as tall as I was.
Edit: Also, I call my friends sir, and occasionally strangers of around my age.
FUCKING SUPERBAD. Do I really look 16?
I remember the kid asking me for ID too. I was just like "what do you want it for, cause I payed at the machine with a credit card?" hes like "just something to prove that you are 18". I'm like "...wait what? Oh whatever here you go".
As did I.
I always get a feeling of "God I'm old" when something is mentioned that I remember happening and can remember where I was when it happened. Every single time I ask myself "has it really has been that long" followed by a quick "man, I'm old"
1) I was talking to my kid's mom about really good music, and she (who HAS to know who an artist is when she hears it) had no idea who Wall of Voodoo, Dire Straights, and Thompson Twins were. For those who don't know, it's 80's Pop bands.
2) I've known most of my friends for over 10 years. Most of them I met in the last couple years of High School.
3) Kids that my sister used to babysit are now legal, and upon a great rare occasion will pester me to go "clubbin'" with them.
That last one was a trip. Shouting at the top of your lungs "I met you when you were FOUR" seems to be a good deterant though.
