Some "Fun" & "Banter" about Growing Older.

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 spouse 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 tend to 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!!

AMEN!

~Going out is good..
Coming home is better!

^ That one describes my wife and I perfectly. We like to go places but we really like to come back home.
