On Acting One's Age

[rolanni]

I have an awfully hard time remembering to act my age.

For example, I forget that my grey hairs entitle to me a chair, even when everyone else is sitting on the floor. I don't mind sitting on the floor -- in fact, I like to sit on the floor -- but it's always a jolt to see the Shocked and Horrified faces of the people around who suddenly want to scramble to find me "something to sit on" (What? I'm sitting on the floor. When did the floor stop being "something"?)

Is anyone else a chronological amnesiac?

That is heartening to know! (And means I potentially have decades of sitting on the floor to go!)
