Prove it.
Lift something 
(like Lloyd Bridges in Seinfeld.) 
I am in my 40’s.
However, even with education/degree in Psychology and Sociology and some training as a therapist, I can hardly explain myself, let alone someone else.

What’s the youngest you feel these days, you know, when you forget about your age?

I actually rarely remember my age. Anytime someone asks me, it takes me several seconds to do the math in my head to figure out my age. It’s almost never really mattered to me. I haven’t really known my age since I was 24-ish, maybe earlier (I can’t remember for sure because I haven’t really cared much for so long).
There are some significant age-related milestones up until you get to your mid 20’s when your brain cortex is finally mostly developed (barring stunting issues related to substance abuse, etc), and your 50+different hormones (not just the well-known ones) actually start to drop off from their rabid peak. After that, age is basically all the same with almost no meaning anymore as far as I see it (I’m open to being wrong about that). Other than that, it’s mostly just generational experience differences that have more to do with environmental conditions over the lifetime than it does with age (not counting health variables). Age matters before a certain age, but not at all after a certain age.
Though I will say that it sucks when your metabolism goes to…uh…down the tube. That’s one of the worst parts about getting past your mid-20’s. Enjoy it while you can youngsters. For the first 30-40yrs of my life I couldn’t put on weight to save my life, and believe me, I TRIED almost everything I could. It’s a weird genetic thing. Nobody in my family could seriously put on weight until mid-adulthood. Then our metabolism disappears. I guess I could blame age for that…it’s more of a life era though.

A bit of a ‘blarney’ move, maybe. Good for business!
I won’t ask which tube. I think there have already been allusions to that earlier.

I approve.
Once I was asked to submit a photo of myself to a place where I was going to be working. In that line of work, it’s common to create photographic rosters for groups of individuals, and they clearly wanted a professional photo, though the request wasn’t that explicit. I submitted a legitimate, professional, current (at the time) photo of myself, but what I really wanted to do was to send a copy of my first grade school photo instead. I like that one 'cause my hair was a little mussed, and I was wearing a T-shirt with Cookie Monster in space.
Then I decided that what would be even better is if we were allowed to choose one photo of ourselves from any time in our lives to be part of our official IDs, badges, etc., because that’s absolutely the photo I would choose.
That’s just a rich and adorable photo!. I’d sell you booze, too! 
(Real men aren’t supposed to say adorable I know but I’m just calling it like I see it, it is! )
I remember once at a holiday dinner my girlfriend asked me if an item on the table wasn’t ‘cute’ and I looked at it considered a sec and said sincerely, ‘Yes.’ A few of my friends at the table suffered ‘jaw drop,’ but slowly recovered. I had a reputation for being different than that, I guess. 
Did you do foot-stomping tantrums as a kid? Or still?

My 
does that when he’s being scolded. If I give him a firm “No!”, he often responds with a terse “Mew!” that sounds like a sassy child replying with a mocking “Nyoh!” This can go back-and-forth for several rounds, and it’s all I can do not to break and laugh and give in.

You’re supposed to give in to the cat. It’s part of the rules automatically imposed on you when they adopt you.
