“Age is just a number.”
Here are situations that phrase is meant for:
When your grandpa is feeling really old because he just turned 80.
When you and your partner want to get married but you are both in your 60s and feel that it is too late in life to do that.
When your grandkid tells you that you are too old to be playing LEGO’s
When your judgemental coworker says you are too old to quit your job to start your own business
When your teenager gets embarrassed and says they’re too old to be dropped off at school.
Etc..
The situation where the phrase isn’t okay:
When you are excusing pedos making advances or being in relationships with minors
When someone is grooming a minor with that phrase
Really anything to do with being a creep.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
