Aging is funny when…

  • …you want to read this, but first you have to find your glasses. And then…

  • …when you put on your glasses, oh my God, everything is blurry! You’re very worried until your spouse says “Hey, why are you wearing my glasses?”
  • …when you have to scroll wayyyy down a list to get to your birth year. And you hope nobody is watching.
  • …when the cashier just assumes you want the seniors’ discount. Why, she barely looked at you!
  • …when you hang on to your VCR and other such antiquities because “you never know.”
  • …when the person you’re talking to on your cell phone asks you something, and you say “Just a sec, I have to check that on my phone,” and then go nuts because you can’t find your cell phone anywhere.
  • …when you realize that most professionals you see (doctors, dentists, accountants, bank managers, etc.) are young enough to be your grandchildren. (The rest could merely be your children!)
  • …when three hearing-impaired guys are chatting on a park bench, and the first one says “It’s windy.” The second one says “No, it’s Thursday.” Third one: “Me too! Let’s go get some beers!”
  • …when you’re vigorously trying to rub off (for the third time that day) the blue/grey eyeliner smudge below each eye, and you suddenly realize: it’s not your makeup! It’s the bags under your eyes… causing blue/grey shadows! No, they don’t rub off. 😬 Okay, maybe sad, but funny too!
  • …when you’re watching TV with your spouse and then you tell him/her, “The TV is much too loud, no?” And they say, “Nope. It’s just right.” So you turn down your hearing aids a tad. 🙄😜
  • …when young whippersnappers always give you their seat on the bus. And they probably never heard of the word, “whippersnapper.” (This becomes not so funny when certain people insist you take their seat, even though they look just as old as you!)
  • …when your kneebone creaks as you stand up, and your spouse says, “What’d you say, dear?”
  • …when you opt for just one candle on your spouse’s birthday cake.
  • …when you cough but fart at the same time.
  • …when you don’t care anymore if people see that you’ve said “fart” in your public blog post. 😁
  • …wait… “Aging is funny when…” …Oh darn, I just had one in my head… but it’s gone! Arghh… 😅😂🤣

  1. So good to SEE you again! This is absolutely hilarious! 😀 😀 😀
    My grandfather needed glasses for both close-up and distance. He would be wearing one pair and constantly asking my grandmother where the other glasses were. And she constantly replied, “They are on top of your head.” 😀

    1. Hi Mer!!! Would you believe I got inspired by the eyeliner smudge bit, all true! 😀 Haha, yes, the glasses thing seems to be universal! Just like the cell phone thing! It is to laugh!

        1. Oh! LOL, and same thing in my bridge group!! There was one lady, 95, who was VERY deaf. When you bid, you had to yell, e.g.: ONE SPADE! She’d go What? Did you bid? My partner would yell SHE SAID ONE SPADE! That, she heard. 😆 Note that at the other nearby table, there was ANOTHER deaf lady, bless her, also mid-nineties, so you’d hear the yelling at our table AND at the other table. It’s kind of a free-for-all there! Sadly, though, one of the ladies fell and broke her hip and later passed away. So there’s only yelling from ONE table now. 🤭
