Mine was seeing a really nice cutlery set and thinking "thats a really nice fork". Also the first time someone made an age joke about me was very tragic.

In my 30s I lived in China as an English teacher. Walking through the school to my apartment I passed two 10 year olds playing who stood up as I approached and bowed, saying "Hello grandfather".

Just a couple of weeks ago a co-worker in his 20s said I have "dad vibes". I am a dad, but still! ๐Ÿ˜ก
