It can be pretty annoying when people ask how old you are, but thanks to the trending hashtag #MyAgeInAPhrase we as a people now have the perfect way to respond.
1. The hashtag was started by @esquiretags.
I’m “Saturday morning cartoons, music videos on MTV, Daisy Duke poster on the bedroom wall, Just Say No to Drugs” years old.
@SheaBrowning
2. Like, this is such a good and specific way to say you’re older than 20
“I remember pooping without a smartphone” years old.
@Sb_spark
3. And this is the perfect way to say you remember how different things used to be
I’m “When candy cigarettes were cool” old.
@AMUSINGALICE28
4. I mean, seriously
I’m “We didn’t wear helmets while riding bicycles” years old.
@RamonaSoprano
5. The hashtag definitely made some people of a certain age feel nostalgic
I’m ” come home when the streetlights come on” old.
@alisadalestrick
6. And it perfectly captures what it was like for millennials when they were growing up

@tlcprincess
17. But honestly, nothing is more relatable for people of a certain age and generation than this.
I’m, “ride in the back of the station wagon years old.”
