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 before.
~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!!
