25 Funny Tweets That Perfectly Sum Up Middle Age

Welcome to middle age…where the only thing getting thinner is your hair, your patience, and the line between your clothes and pajamas.

Fun fact: If you Google “when is middle age” (like I just did) you will get about a million conflicting articles, which when combined, puts middle age somewhere between the ages of 35-64. Approximately.

Regardless of the number, if you’re at the age, like me, where you’re now calling a 30 year old “a kid”, keep reading, because these funny tweets are for you…
