I'm old.

Have you ever had someone tell you how old you are and gasped because it just sounded like such a huge number? Tayler called because he wanted to play this game:


1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758...If you haven't, add 1757.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)

The next two numbers are:
YOUR AGE!

I’ve played this game before, there’s nothing that shocking about it, just simple math really. The alarming part that made me gasp was that number staring back at me. 223. I would like to eat out twice a week (mostly it was the easiest number to do math too, I REALLY wish we ate out zero times a week, but that’s not a choice for the game…) and I am 23 YEARS OLD. Dude. That’s old.
