Observations on Growing Older

[pennyjangle]

~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!!

When you sign-up online for Pizza Hut they ask for your birthday. When I went to pick-up my order the manager greeted me. The young cashier and I started talking while she is rang up my order, she notice they forgot the ranch dressing. I said "my kids love that stuff" she said " mine love ketchup" I said you have young children, she said " how old are yours" I said 18 & 23 she said "wow you look great for your age." The manager did a 390 & started yelling at her as I was leaving.
