the definition of getting old(er)

if you're female, perhaps you remember being younger and, even if there were toilet seat covers, never sitting down to pee in public restrooms -- it was a waste of time and you could just as easily stand. but if you're older, perhaps you've decided it's worth it to take the time to gently cover the seat -- with a cover, or toilet paper, even -- and sit your ass down to enjoy the 1 minute when you have no obligations other than to empty your bladder. that's the definition of getting older.
