Officially, I become a senior citizen today.
I turned 65.
From what my daughter said–and she was giving me professional information as a licensed social worker–I have become an ẹ̀rùjẹ̀jẹ̀ in the eye of the law in the US.

You who conceive while your infants are mere suckling babies
When your infants mess their pants
Their daddies will change their diapers.
