signs that I am old.

My niece got a package in the mail, and opened it to proudly show us her new necklace: a little lion on a chain, with a metal tag that said, "I am woman, hear me roar."

... she'd never heard of Helen Reddy.

Can it be ironic if you've never even heard of the thing you're being ironic about? I don't think so...

I hope you played her the song!!!

I so had that album. Sigh.

[cofax7]

We did, and she really liked it!

Yes, my reaction as well: and then you hauled out the electronic internet-capable device of your choice, and found the song and played it for her?

I'll admit only that if you had asked me who sang that song, I wouldn't have come up with the name right away. But if you'd asked me who Helen Reddy was, I would have made the connection instantly. Brains as old as ours are funny things.

Hand me that walker over there, please?

Yikes!
