Getting Old
It’s days like today that make me feel old. I am by no means old, early twenties, but sometimes things happened and I feel old. I recently heard that Zach Hanson, the youngest brother from Hanson the musical group, became a father. I suppose it makes sense, my cousin was obsessed with the group in the mid 1990’s. They faded into one-hit-wonder obscurity probably around ten years ago so all three members are old enough to be parents since they were around my age. But that’s the thing, they faded away. Out of sight, out of mind. So, even though years pass, in my mind, they don’t age. And it doesn’t seem that long ago. One day you turn around and you are an adult, the pop stars of your youth are parents (they look old, even), and the current big things are children.
