Observations on growing older

Aging~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 you needed the discount, you paid full price. Now, you get discounts on everything: movies, hotels, flights, but you don’t feel like going to the trouble.

~You forget names, but it’s OK because other people forgot they even know you!!!

~The five pounds you wanted to lose is now fifteen and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the fifteen 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 you say, “I hope they stay married!”

~You miss the days when everything worked with just an “ON” and “OFF” switch.

~You remember when Google, iPod, email, modem were unheard of and a mouse was something that made you climb on a table.

~You now use more four-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 already 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 three sizes of clothes in your closet …two of which you will never wear.

~But old is good in some things: old songs, old movies and best of all, OLD FRIENDS -if you can remember who they are!
