You know you are old when...(add your thoughts) [View all]

you put plates of food, covered with foil, & oven set to 120 degrees, in the oven so when Mom/Dad /Sister/Brother got home from school/work at 10:30 pm they got a hot dinner.

Maybe you flicked some water on the plate before covering it with foil so it did not dry out in the oven
