I used to think that age equated to percentage of life lived, thus I thought that most people live to close around 100.
But it also made me think that people only get old when they’re like 80.
I mean like actually “old”. The “old” adults were referring to. At that age I considered those 14/15 year old 9th graders old, just a bit different “old”.
Damn.
I also heard that dentists used to recommend hard toothbrushes and “If your gums don’t bleed you’re not brushing hard enough.”
Although that may depend on region.
