CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE LOOK THEIR AGE FOR A CHANGE? -- by Steve Nadis
In describing the environmental writer Bill McKibben, an article in today's Boston Globe called him "a youthful-looking 46." I have nothing against the guy and have never met him in person but judging from the pictures provided in the paper, he looks more or less like someone who's 46. In other words, he looks his age. And there's nothing wrong with that. Yet for some reason reporters always feel obligated to describe everyone as "youthful-looking" or "looking younger than the years." Of course, if everyone looks younger than their years, they actually look their age. So maybe we can finally stop this entrenched pattern of age deflation. Maybe people can start looking their age for a change. This I believe.


But the worst part is the youthful looking 20-year olds, because if you follow this new math of ageing, they are actually more like 2 or 3 year olds, which means most of them are not potty-trained, much less employed, and I, for one, draw the line at changing the pull-ups on a 20-year old (even a youthful looking one).
By the way, Winona agrees with me. (Winona, honey--that's my watch. Yes, I saw you put it in your pocket. Please give it back. I don't care if 30 is the new 10, you still can't take my stuff. Winona? Winona!) (Comment this)
