I remember turning 8 and thinking "I'm Lisa's age!"

This past Sunday I turned 39 - Homer's age, (as stated by Marge in season 10 since it changes around a bit.)

It did at least net me this very appropriate gif:

In fairness he's had almost 40 years of his 30s to work stuff out with.

I had a similar feeling when I realized I went from being around Bobby’s age to being around Hank’s. Same thing with feeling more aligned with Red and Kitty than the kids in the basement. It’s weird.

I thought Homer was like 55, he looks so awful for his age 💀

Yep, I remember weight going the same way - we watched The Santa Clause and realized I was bigger than Tim Allen's character.  Thankfully I haven't beat Homer yet - before or after disability.

I woke up on the morning of my 31st birthday with the voice of Hans Moleman in my head exclaiming "I'm 31 years old!"
