Middle Aged

I have some pictures from this weekend that I will post- when I get back to my computer and camera... I know it's been awhile since I've posted pictures!

In the meantime, I have been meaning to blog about an experience I had in class a few weeks ago. We were discussing meanings of words and phrases and how they are used in coaching situations.

Some words do not have to be discussed, everyone knows what they mean. Plenty others need to be talk about to be sure everyone is on the same page.

In order to illustrate this concept, my professor put a list of questions on the overhead.

"Bob makes a lot of money, how much does he make?"

"Carol makes a lot of money, how much does she make?"

(The gender thing seems to be a thing of the past for college students as everyone gave the same answers to these two.)

There was also this question:

"Bill is middle-aged, how old is he?"

I gave my answer as 45-50+ which seemed to be standard for almost everyone. (ETA: My thinking behind that was that people seem to live to be 80-90+ and half of that gives you my middle age!)

Then one girl piped up and said she answered 30+.

So according to her, I will be middle-aged in a little over 5 years. Anyone else with me in thinking that's a little young?!
