The Phrase of Creep Up
The next phrase I use that I want to share with you is to creep up. Now, if I'm talking about one person creeping up on another person, it means you approach someone and get very close to someone without them knowing that they're there. But we also use the phrase of creep up for talking about anything that takes us by surprise. Usually age is one thing. So, oh, it's my 60th birthday party tomorrow. You're 60? It feels like only yesterday you were turning 40. What? You're 60. Yeah, I know it's really crept up on me. I don't know where it's come from either.
