Observations of 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 used 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!!
