You Were How Old?

There is nothin quite like your first time,which miht be a ood thin, dependin on which first time we are speakin of. Perhaps you could simply decide which first thin you wish to share with us when you fill in the blanks to this sentence:

I was (blank) years old the  first time I (blank).

Please inform, amuse or surprise us. But please refrain from tryin to shock us.

Let me bein:

I was eiht years old the first time I kissed a boy. I quickly decided that boys have cooties.
I was twenty-seven years old the first time I wrote a speech for a Member of Parliament. I quickly decided that politicians have cooties.

I still kiss boys and I still work with politicians. Only one of them still has cooties. 

  Your turn....

I was 13 years old the first time I had a hamburger.

[ethan]

i was 12 years old the first time i masturbate.

I was 17 years old the first time I became a vegetarian. It lasted two years before I got sick of eating pulses. I was 23 years old the first time I worked in a hospital. It lasted two years before I got sick of taking pulses.

Beware anything new - you have two years!

[Kevin]

I was 11 years old when I went to my first major league baseball game (Blue Jays vs. Yankees). This also qualifies as a moment of bliss, even if it was 25 years ago.

[Mamacita]

I was forty before I ever touched a computer. I was instantly hooked. But I had to wait until my son moved out before I could really indulge in my drug-like obsession. (He was on it all the time. Selfish thing.) All this nonsense about anybody being too old to have fun with a computer is just that: nonsense. See, I TOLD you I was really old!!! As for certain other first times, I will honor your request and refrain from shocking anyone. (I'm not THAT old.)

[Amber]

I was 34 the first time I tasted raw fish... I was 34 the last time I will ever taste raw fish!!

[Zinnia Cyclamen]

Scuse my ignorance but... what's a cootie?

[Garrison Steelle]

I was 4 the first time my grandfather took me fishing.

Did you know you can't catch much with a 4-yr-old tossing everything in the water?

[chunukbair]

I was almost ten years old when I first noticed the world beyond my town's borders (the Challenger blowing up)...

[Michele]

Zinnia: The dictionary definition of cootie is body louse BUT it is an oft used expresion by young children (well, at least it was when I was young) to show distaste - something that is yucky.

Sharing a secret: I do not actually think boys or politicans are yucky, just some of them. Well, at least a few that I have worked with.

I was 24 years old when I first got a driver's license. (Now I think..What's the big deal with driving?)

[Nina]

I was 38 years old the first (and only) time I became a mom, after waiting my whole life and being told it would never happen.

[Rohit]

I was 7 years old when I scaled two storeys for the first, but not the last, time.

[Tee]

I was 31 years old the first time I *really* knew love at first site.. it was when my son was born! :)

[Kimi]

I was 31 years old when I realized I didn't "need" a man to be happy. And I agree that politicians have cooties. Our U.S. Congressman is coming to where I work today. I need to put up my cootie shield.

[sigmund, carl and alfred]

I was 17 the first time I had to pay income taxes.

I have not yet recovered from that indignity, perhaps explaning my career choice.

[Jeanette]

I was 20 years old the first (and only) time I got married.

[patricia]

I was 12 years old the first time I published one of my own cartoons in a newspaper, and got paid for it.

I didn't get kissed 'til I was 16. I have tried to make up for the lack of kissing since then.

[Norman]

I was ....., well, still waiting to lose my virginity.

[Tricia]

I was 16 years old the first time I was the lead role in an onstage play.

[Alda]

I was sixteen when I started living on my own. By then I'd already discovered smoking, booze, boys and drugs. In that order. I've since been working on un-discovering them (except the boys) :)

[Carmi]

I was 8 years-old when I discovered I could make people laugh or cry by simply writing stuff down for them to read. The magic has only grown since then.

[ms mac]

I was 23 years old the first time I lied about my age. That was 11 years ago now and strangely enough, I'm still 23!

[SEV]

i was 8 the first time i thought i could ape tarzan the ape-man.
i was 10 when i realised that it was not possible to swing around a concrete jungle.
i was 15 when i realised that i was never going to look like tarzan the ape-man.
i was 18 when i realised that even though there was no relation between tarzan and moi, the world i was in was still full of apes.
i'm 22 now, and i am wondering whether we evolved or de-evolved from apes...

and no, i've not yet managed to make her dress like jane..

[tommy]

I was 31 the first time I was handed a microphone and expected to talk to people that were seated in a "grandstand". It got better once I realized nobody was listening to me, they were too busy watching the planes fly. Like so many things...after the first couple of times it became quite fun.

[kalisah]

I was 4 years old when I fist sang on stage in front of an audience.

I was 17 years old when I first saw "The Wizzard of Oz." (Mother didn't care for that movie.)

[Lucy Jane]

I was 5 when I had my first crush, he chased me around the P.E. field taught me how to tie my shoes and say damn. My mom was thrilled!

[Amanda]

I was 22 the first time I ate asparagus and brussel sprouts just to impress my future mother in law because she cooked them :) I guess it worked and it wasn't that bad.

[Sam]

I was 1 month old the first time I traveled.

[Christine]

I was 4 years old the first time I went skiing. (I skiied between my Dad's skis, him holding onto me and guiding me. I wonder how much fun he had!) I still ski.

[Last Girl On Earth]

I was in my 20's when I "discovered" Europe.
In my 30's, Europe "discovered" me!

[geoff]

I was 30 when I first became an adult.....as that was when my first son was born.

[Kate]

I was 18 the first time I did my laundry. It was a rude awakening that I was finally on my own, away from home, and completely helpless!

[Jules]

I was 29 when I first found out my heritage (I'm adopted). Turns out I'm almost entirely Irish with a little Swedish sprinkled in for laughs and strange looking tall, dark-haired, fair skinned relatives.

[Garnet]

I was 7 the first time I skydived...out of a ski lift, 25 feet above ground!

[cori]

I was born when I was born.

[Scully]

I was 10 years old when I learned how to ride a bike. My best friend had gone away for the summer, but her mother was taking care of me, and she put me on a bike, pushed me down the alley, and I learned how to ride a bike that day. It felt like I was flying.

And then my best friend's mother paid to send me to the farm my friend was staying at and I had one of the best summers ever.

[kimbofo]

I was 29 when I went on my first trip abroad.

[sleeping mommy]

I was 6 years old the first time I rode the back of motorcycle. It was with my dad. We didn't get off that motorcycle until I was 13 and worried about the helmet messing up my hair. Wish I hadn't worried so much and just rode the bike with him a few more years.

I was 7 years old the first time I wrote a book. I illustrated it too.

[mike]

I was 30 years old when I realized I was not going to live forever.
