Monday evening as I was driving home from work, my 17 year old niece called, and asked if I could take her and her friend to a concert.  Her friend couldnt go to this concert in Chicago without an adult going.  So, Sara calls and asks me to take her, to be the 'responsible adult'.  Ugh. 

When did I become the responsible adult?  Am I really that old?  Am I no longer cool or hip or trendy or trend-setting???  What happened to my youth?

I dont like feeling old.  I dont like looking at others and think, 'they are younger than me.'  I feel like I've missed the young life boat.  

Uh-oh.  

Insert retail therapy.  I think a new shirt or necklace or ring might make me feel better.
