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.
WRONG! I can prove it!

~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

~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?” etc. ???

~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!!
