A Pondering Mind

A little of this. A little of that.


Forgot My Glasses

FORGOT MY GLASSES

Yesterday my daughter again asked why I didn’t do something useful with my time.

 

Talking about my “doing something useful” seemed to be her favorite topic of conversation.

She was “only thinking of me” and suggested I go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys.

I did this and when I got home last night I decided to teach her a lesson about staying out of my business.

I told her that I had joined a parachute club.

She said, “Are you nuts? You ‘re almost 79 years old and you’re going to start jumping out of airplanes?”

I proudly showed her that I even got a membership card.

She said to me, “Good grief, where are your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club,

not a Parachute Club.”

“I’m in trouble again, and I don’t know what to do… I signed up for five times a week,” I told her.  She fainted.

Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier

but sometimes it can be fun.

    79?… well, the French say that life starts at 40, so… go ahead and live it up! 🙂

    Haha, I’d say 79 is a good time to start doing things like that.
