Charlie covering his ears
Two annoying girls moved into the apartment above me.
I'm forced to hear every dumb thing they say.
These are my letters to them.

“Wait… Oh my God… I’m so freaked out… I can’t remember how old I am. HOW OLD AM I?!” Old enough to remember how old you are.

    Oh no! I’ve done this before!

  2. Ashers says:

    Lol always a nice pick-me-up after a busy day =P

  3. Leila says:

    hmmm…I’ve done that a couple of times. But I always remember within a few seconds.

  4. Jack says:

    old enough to suck my dick

  5. Tigerr says:

    Hmmm…Could it possibly be the plastic surgery trying to confuse them? Actually what is their age Charlie? I’m kinda curious now xD

  6. Chris says:

    I’ve done this. It often happens in the month or so after my birthday, and someone asks how old I am – naturally responding with the ‘old’ number..

  7. Adeia says:

    I’ve been doing this since I turned 21. Every year after the big three birthdays (16, 18, 21), I just stopped caring. But anytime this happens, I remember my age seconds later.

  8. anjaaa says:

    wow like sometimes i do that but only a few months form my birthday. but they’re like 25

  9. Bex says:

    wowza. I think her panic about not remembering was more striking than her not remembering. And generally if you forget how old you are, don’t you stay quiet and look at your drivers liscence?

    • Brandy says:

      They probably don’t know enough “advanced math” to subtract their birth year from 2011 and figure it out.

    • Tammy says:

      The funny thing is they aren’t ashamed to be totally dumb in front of each other! Cx

  10. Jacky Faber: Midshipman, Fine Lady, and Lily of the West says:

    …Oh boy. That’s all I have to say.

  11. Haley says:

    wow. just… wow.

  12. Christina says:

    I sometimes wonder how they are still alive…

  13. Chelsea says:

    That’s kinda pathetic.

  14. Adi says:

    mentally, emotionally or physically?

    • Kamella says:

      Mentally? Between 4 and 15. Physically? I’m guessing mid twenties. Emotionally? About sixteen.

      …I just gave them a lot of credit.

      • libby says:

        Saying they are emotionally equal to a sixteen year old is offensive to any sixteen year olds out there. Honestly, wouldn’t they be closer to 13? I always see them a jr. high kids…

      • Nandi says:

        Yea, you gave them a LOT of credit by saying they’re mentally between 4 and 15. I wouldn’t have been so nice.

  15. GinnyPotter says:

    I haven’t been commenting that long but i feel neglected :( charlie never responds to my comments :(

  16. Rayne says:

    It happens to me too >.>. Except I remember it in a few seconds. I just have to think about it. Something they don’t do obviously :3.

  17. ChelsLynn says:

    Sometimes I wish these girls would die, but then I remember that Charlie would have nothing to post and this website would become abandoned…

  18. Elizabeth says:

    I’ve been doing that all week, but I think it’s mostly because I just had a birthday and refuse to accept the fact that I’m growing up xD

  19. Ellie says:

    Mentally? 9. And I’m only saying that because they know how to speak and live alone.

  20. Liz says:

    sometimes, when its close to my birthday and i just start telling people the new number, when it actually comes to my birthday for a moniute i think im a year OLDER then that! when i was turning 21, i just started saying i was 21 in may but my birthday was in july. well by the time july came around, i thought for a moment that i was 22! i kindov freaked out at that too!

  21. Sarah says:

    Oh gosh, I feel so ashamed! This happened to me yesterday T.T

  22. Alicia says:

    I miss not coming here as often as I used to. Charlie, fellow family members, how are you guys!?

    • Charlie McDowell says:

      Where have you been???

      • Alicia says:

        I became a stripper. Long hours, but you gotta pay the bills somehow…know what I mean?

        I’m totally kidding. I am not, nor ever will be a stripper. I’ve just had a lot of things on my schedule. Things are finally starting to slow down, though, so you will hopefully see a lot more of me over here.

  23. Kamella says:

    *sigh* I need to go on MLIA and reassure myself that the next generation has hope.

  24. Emory says:

    I often forget my age and my birthday and my name XD

  25. AmyD says:

    how many commentors on here found this site because of MLIA? I feel so alone because NO ONE I know IRL has ever heard of MLIA!!!

    • Kayla says:

      Meee!

    • Chelsea says:

      Me too :)

    • Elizabeth says:

      I didn’t find the site through MLIA but I definitely know the site. I actually made a friend because of it at my new school. And the real life story of how we got to know each other really does sound like something right off the site. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you xD

    • cheerdiva says:

      I think most, if not all, of us found this because of MLIA. Which just goes to show how awesome this family we have is.

    • Lola says:

      Yeah, me too. And I didn’t even realize it was like a “family” or whatever, I just jumped into the comments a few months ago with no introductions or welcomes. And then felt badly later. Haha.

      • Charlie McDowell says:

        When are we all gonna start doing holidays together?!

      • Alicia says:

        When’s the next big holiday…Easter?

      • Elizabeth says:

        I didn’t realize it was much of a family either, I just sorta jumped on the commenting bandwagon and stuck with it because everyone here is pretty awesome. But it’s sorta cool how the stupidity of two girls can bring people together xD

      • Heather says:

        This family has a lot of lurkers creeping on it, be sure to plan Easter dinner in front of a big picture window.

      • Jess says:

        Yes, I just jumped in as well… Sorry :S

      • Elin says:

        HEy i’m in a musical the day before easter, so you guys can come party with me in ATL!

      • jake says:

        I refuse to sit at the kiddie table this year

      • Cygnus says:

        I did exactly the same thing. I am a leap then look kinda girl.

        When I picture us doing Easter together, why is it I envision us crammed into poor Charlie’s apartment wall to wall wearing furry silky bunny ears and shushing each other’s giggles so we can hear the live show going on upstairs.

    • LovelyLauren says:

      I found this off of MILA, most people in my grade prefer FML so I’m kinda the lone MLIAer among my peers.

    • Alicia says:

      I found it through MLIA, but I was really cautious to come over. By “Dear Girls Above Me”, I thought it was a guy’s letters to the girls on top of him, like all the girls he sleeps with. Am I the only one who thought that?

    • Team Black. Siriusly. says:

      Meeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

    • Eden says:

      I go on like everyday :)

    • Kamella says:

      read my comment above, and you’ll find out.

  26. Sara says:

    I have to stop myself from saying 21 every time someone asks me my age. I haven’t been 21 for a few years….like 7

  27. LovelyLauren says:

    Eh I’ve done this before but I’ve never said it out loud. Whenever people ask me how old I am the first thing that pops into my head is “I’m 12!!! I’m 12! Wait no! 13!….no? AAAAH! How old am I? 15! Yes that’s it 15! Oh no how the hell did that happen?” That thought process takes about a minute.

  28. Kate says:

    I have been reading this for quiet awhile but have never commented. This blog is like my morning cup of joe! I don’t go a day without checking. Thanks for the laughs!

  29. Deirdre says:

    I am starting to realize that the GAM and I are getting to be alike after this post… Honest question: Does this mean that I’m getting dumber, or that they’re getting smarter?

  30. ACFrench says:

    I actually just witnessed a girl say the wrong school when asked… I think we all blank sometimes…

  31. Angie says:

    I’m going to regret asking this, but Charlie, do you know if the GAMs are employed? There is no way they can be trusted with any job involving people, heavy machinery, or numbers greater than 10.

  32. Alex says:

    This has to be my favourite GAM moment ever! Now the only thing that would make this better would be if you replied to my post, Charlie.

  33. Zeina says:

    Amazing blog, Charlie! I always start my day with it :)
    Many greetings from Lebanon
    Cheerio

  34. Ellie says:

    I found DGAM through MLIA. I feel lame, i figured it was some pre-teen girl writing sarcastic notes to girls she dubbed “popular”… i know i’m the only one who thought that. Very glad it ended up as this!

  35. Jamie Lynn says:

    Tell her to check her ID.

  36. Lala says:

    I don’t want to be whiney and annoying but….i wanna be part of the family!!!
    I Stumbled on this site a couple months back and Charlie, not to freak you out…but pretty sure I love you.
    So you know….theres that.

  37. Eri says:

    First time commenter!
    This is by far the stupidest thing they’ve said. That’s really saying something.
    I wonder how old they are?
    Happy to join the GAM family :-D

  38. Melissa says:

    Sorry I’ve been away for so long. I got scolded a while back for leaving a blog link in my comment. Oops. But, I have seen the error of my ways and I am back. (Thanks for welcoming me.) That being said… Love today’s post. I’ve never forgotten my age, but I did have a student forget how to spell her own name once.

  39. Courtney says:

    I’m pretty I found this site through MLIA.
    I don’t really remember how long ago, though.
    Maybe a year or so?

  40. pb says:

    well i guess they’re too old to count it on their fingers and toes now…

  41. Spooxi says:

    And thus, the epitome of stupidity is reached. *dramatic gesture and sage-like expression*

  42. I ride dragons... so yeah... fear mr. says:

    iv been snooping around the family for a while… may i join and gain siblings??

  43. I ride dragons... so yeah... fear me says:

    spelled my name wrong. crap. there we go

  44. Lonely Girl says:

    Old enough to know never to answer that question when someone else asks…

  45. Ellin says:

    Am I the only one who scrolls through the comments to see who was worthy enough for Charlie to reply to them? Curious…

  46. Madeleine says:

    I’ve done this. When I was 23 someone asked how old I was and I automatically responded “21” before I remembered that 2 whole years had passed since that birthday… I did not, however, freak out like the GAM did. I just let the moment pass as though I was still 21 and let the embarrassment sit in my own mind.

    That being said I also frequently round up when my birthday is coming near. All March long I start saying the next age…

  47. TaylorDanielle! says:

    I once did this at an audition. Too bad my birthday is in April, and it was July. Facepalm.
    Bee tee dubs y’all, I’ve been eating sunchips everyday at lunch(:

  48. DoraTonks10 says:

    How are they still alive!? Oh yeah that’s right Charlie lives below them.

  49. Vega says:

    I never thought it was possible for someone to get dumber by the day…

  50. jake says:

    (Insert comment about the stupidity of these girls here)

  51. Holly says:

    Well uh, last time I checked my one year old cousins knew exactly how old they were… These girls need to step it up a notch!

  52. Alicia says:

    One of the Girls Above Him cried out “HOW OLD AM I?!”.
    I, upon reading this post, can laugh until I die.
    Your age is something you should always know,
    Whoever you are, wherever you go.
    But the girls will always continue to be dumb,
    They have no hope, they started with none.

    I have to admit, i’ve done this several times..
    the worst was the first time i was pulled over for speeding.

    and his next question was if i had been drinking that night
