  Everything has changed, but I think I'm the same

Who has changed everything when I was not looking?
I noticed lately that everything is farther away than it used to be.
It's even twice as far to the corner and they have added a hill.

I've given up running for the bus; it leaves earlier than it used to.
I seems to me they are making the stairs steeper than in the old days.
And haven't you noticed the smaller print the newspapers are now using?
There's no sense asking anyone to read aloud anymore, as everyone speaks
     in such a low voice I can hardly hear them.

The materials in dresses are so skimpy now, especially around the waist and hips;
 it's almost impossible to reach one's shoelaces!
Also, the sizes don't run the way they used to, the 12s and 14s are much smaller.

Even people are changing. They are so much younger than they used to be
 when I was their age.
On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am.
I ran into an old classmate the other day, and she had aged so much
  she didn't recognize me.

I got to thinking about my poor dear friend while I was combing my  hair
  this morning and so doing, I glanced at my own reflection.

They don't even make mirrors like they used to.
