It was the kleenex that really did me in. My whole childhood was mildly traumatic, in that the slightest sniffly sound inevitably caused my mother to dredge out some horrible, nasty linty kleenex from the depths of her purse (or sleeve, or pocket) and inflict it upon me.

My three signs of age betrayal have been (a) remembering to bring a sweater, (b) wanting socks and underwear for Christmas, and (c) having shrively linty Kleenex in all my pockets. Those things make the grey hairs look like pikers. Yeah.
