I've no idea how old you are but I've certainly noticed that as I grew older, 40+, I was less concerned about how I looked to others and much less concerned about the opinions of most people, especially one I didn't know.

Once you get over 50 you realise that life's much too short to be worrying about being embarrassed, so you ask!

And there's always the shock value. No, not to the person your speaking to but your nieces, nephews and grandchildren, if you have them, that seem to think that older people some have lost their mischievousness (et al).
