"Old" Moment

The other day, I had an "old" moment. I was at my friends house and we decided to play the Wii. Bule and I don't have one and I've only played it a few times at my sisters and friends houses. And since we don't have one and don't play it often, I am not familiar with it that much. So, when I was playing it the other day, I couldn't get my controller to show up on the screen for the longest time. When I finally did, I couldn't hold it still enough to hit the button, and I couldn't do anything right. I felt like my mom at that moment (no offense, mom. I love you!). I just felt like I'm out of touch with the latest technology. Maybe we should get one and I can practice so I won't feel so "old" when I play it with other people.
Then we were playing Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader. One of the games was to answer questions in 10 seconds. I was sitting on her couch and it was kind of far from the TV. From where I was sitting, I couldn't see the questions that well, so I missed answering half of them in the allotted time because it took me so long to read the question and the possible answers. I had to get closer to the tv and sit on the floor. My eyes have always been perfect but lately I can't see certain things from far away. It's really depressing. I thought I would have at least 10 more years till I had to deal with this.
That day was just a sad reminder to me that I'm not a teenager anymore and it's all downhill from here!!
