How do you account for it? I often wonder. But you are correct. Are we just delusional? Do we deny our age?

When my mother was 45, my dad walked out on her. She was sure no man would ever be interested in her because of her age. Of course she was wrong (and she is happily married these many years later), but the point was that she believed it. She thought she was old and washed up and age 45.

I'm very glad she was wrong, but it does provide a distinction to the following generation, which I think is what you are getting at. Are we younger than our parents or are we just in denial of getting old?
