“Age is just a number.”

Here are situations that phrase is meant for:

• When your grandpa is feeling really old because he just turned 80.
• When you and your partner want to get married but you are both in your 60s and feel that it is too late in life to do that.
• When your grandkid tells you that you are too old to be playing LEGO’s
• When your judgemental coworker says you are too old to quit your job to start your own business
• When your teenager gets embarrassed and says they’re too old to be dropped off at school.
• Etc..

The situation where the phrase isn’t okay:

• When you are excusing pedos making advances or being in relationships with minors
• When someone is grooming a minor with that phrase
• Really anything to do with being a creep.
