Observations on Growing Older
-
Your kids are becoming you... and you don't like them... but your
grandchildren are perfect!
-
Going out is good. Coming home is better!
-
When people say you look "Great".... they add "for your age!"
-
When you needed the discount you paid full price. Now you get
discounts on everything... movies, hotels, flights.
-
You forget names... but it's OK because other people forgot they
even knew you!!!
-
The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better
chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.
-
You realize you're never going to be really good at anything...
especially golf.
-
Your husband is counting on you to remember things you don't
remember.
-
The things you cared to do, you don't care to do, but you care that
you don't care to do them anymore.
-
Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring
than he does in bed. It's called his "pre-sleep".
-
Remember when your mother said "Wear clean underwear in case you
GET in an accident"? Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE
an accident!
-
You used to say, "I hope my kids GET married... Now, "I hope they
STAY married!"
-
You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and
"OFF" switch.
-
When GOOGLE, ipod, email, modem... were unheard of and a mouse was
something that made you climb on a table.
-
You use more 4 letter words..." what?"..." when?"???
-
Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it
anywhere.
-
Your husband has a night out with the guys but he's home by 9:00 P.M... next week it will be 8:30 P.M.
-
You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.
-
Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!
-
What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
-
Everybody whispers.
-
Now that your husband has retired... you'd give anything if he'd
find a job!
-
You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet .... 2 of which you will
never wear.
-
But "old" is good in some things:
old songs
old movies
And best of all
OLD FRIENDS!!
