After that, I loved being called madam, and on the very rare occasion when it does happen these days, it still makes me feel grown up!

Re: At What Point Do You Suddenly Become An Old Person?
I had my first child at the age of 29, and was referred to by the midwives as an 'elderly primagravida'.I felt really offended by the use of the term 'elderly'! So it is all relative!
(For the uninitiated..... primagravida is the term for someone having their first baby, and at the time, 29 was considered a bit 'old' to be having a first baby, hence the 'elderly' term.
Dunno if it's been changed since then, given that so many women have their children later these days).
