The Greatest Thing About Getting Older

“The greatest thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.” – Madeleine L’Engle

“Midlife crisis is that moment when you realize your children and your clothes are about the same age.” – Bill Tammeus

A group of senior citizens were sitting around talking about their ailments: “My arms are so weak I can hardly hold this cup of coffee,” said one.

“Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can’t even see my coffee,” replied another.

“I can’t turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck,” said a third, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.

“My blood pressure pills make me dizzy,” another went on.

“I guess that’s the price we pay for getting old,” winced an old man as he shook his head.

Then there was a short moment of silence…

“Well, it’s not that bad,” said one woman cheerfully. “At least we can still drive.”

“‘Old’ is when your sweetie says, ‘Let’s go upstairs and cuddle,’ and you answer, ‘Honey, I can’t do both.’”

“Middle age is when you choose cereal for the fiber, not the toy.”
