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, but you're too tired to use them. © 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 used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do 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 used to use more 4 letter words..... "what?"... "when?" ??? © Now that you can afford expensive jewellery, 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
