They aren't wearing a hat against the sun in the pool

They are asking how did the guy with the pickup truck with the freezer in the back selling meat door to door get thru the gate.

They are asking why do they call that drink at the bar “Sex on the Square”.

They have a tan line from the watch they recently decided they didn't need to wear anymore (? I'm guessing, since I haven't made the move yet)

They are satisfied with a golf cart going 18mph.

They want to know what being a "frog" means.

They still have enough sense not to have their left knee hanging out the side of the golf cart as oncoming carts pass...

They still have enough courtesy to wait for their turn...

They go down to the square every night of the week...

They ask about the difference between an executive course and a championship course.
They go to the squares most every night.
They read the Rec News from cover to cover each week looking for an activity to join.
Furniture trucks make daily deliveries to their home.
They are anxious to share their story of 'how they got to The Villages' with anyone who will listen!
They pray someone else in their foursome steps forward to reserve the tee times, because it's overwhelming the first time you do it.

If it sounds like I speak from experience, well...

They still walk without a limp since they didn't get hurt playing pickle ball yet...and if they do play pickle ball it is with one of the chipped rec center wooden paddles

I'm kinda new.

I always ask Villagers: "How long have you lived here?" Followed by: "Aren't you tired of it yet?" I know that they're going to say no, but I'm always entertained by HOW they say it. It's a great conversation starter.

Don't tell me you wear sweat pants when you go out.

Yes, but they have sequins on them.
