As my wife put it a while back, "first undergraduates looked young, then postdocs looked young, but now Assistant Professors look young!"

first sign:  when you can't go out with friends and enjoy alcoholic beverages until midnight because you are no longer "fresh minded going in to work" the next day .

 

second sign: I need botox. what happened? any cancellations doc? it's an emergency!

 

third sign: this was yesterday...while buying my son a video game in the local game stop, dude said I look really familiar and asked me where I am from...I'm not originally from here  grew up in pittsburgh. Oh, I just asked b/c you look like one of my high school students mother. I said "how old are you Jason"....he said 22...I said, I must look bad today b/c I just told you I'm shopping for a new game for my 12 year old son, he just turned 12 today!  but i guess i could technically be a mother of a 22 year old..I feel really good about myself now Jason. Thanks.   Maa'm can you take this survey on line and let game stop know how i did today?  Sure will Jason.
