Everyone I know is a citizen. Why then do we not refer to children as junior citizens and to adults as citizens? It is not until we are old that we are referred to as senior citizens. The youth minister at our church calls older members seasoned saints. There must be a better way to refer to my age group. Being old is really not so bad. Not everyone gets to live this long. Maybe I can just be an old lady.
What do you think would be a good term for old people?

Seasoned Saint is cool but unfortunately not applicable for all...I like "Crone" for women. And "Old Fart" for men.....
But I'm peculiar....
My momma worked for AARP for almost 20 years. She calls senior citizens "members," as in: AARP members.
