There's a picture on a bookshelf in this house that shows my mom and dad in April 1976 ("Easter at Cami's", says the note on the back, Cami being my father's older brother's wife). That makes my dad a few months from 36 and my mother a few months past 32. It's been there for-ev-ahhh and is one of the major images of my parents I have in my head, besides the "live updated" ones.
I passed by this tonight on the way back from the kitchen and went whoa. That's right: I'm older now than she is in that pic.

enotsola says I look younger now than she did then, which may be true; I wondered aloud if it helped that I would never wear a hideous pink pantsuit like she's wearing in that pic, and he said yes. Still, though. It's... very weird.
