I didn’t get old on purpose, it just happened. If you’re lucky, it could happen to you.
—Andy Rooney
I like this quote even better than my old favorite:
Inside every old person is a younger one saying, “What the heck happened?”

Getting Old

LOL! they’re both wonderful! and TRUE!
😀
I agree, both are true.
I get mad that my 34 yr old soul has a 61 yr old body though.
:/
I love it! 😀 But you are so young.
love both quotes…my “unyoung” (that’s a new term for above a certain age, but defnitely currently not all that old) body is very tired, somehow trip home was disrupted by either – old buses, grumpy drivers, missed connections, then some problem on the western rail network, so missed another connection – but saved by the nice driver stopping at the “not in service stop” so it was a flat walk to the sidewalk…
I’m so glad the nice driver came by! That trip home sounds like a mess.
oh like Monk… I’m so glad too! I might have just had to stay and camp out. LOL. thank goodness for nice people.
I think that I was born old. I can’t remember ever having felt that I was young compared to someone else. I suppose that being the first born with siblings coming before one became too old to register makes this happen!
In grammar school I was always the youngest in the class. The school wanted me to skip a grade but my folks said no. I would have liked it at the time because I needed more of a challenge, but my folks were probably right.
Woman customer in restaurant: “I’d like a margarita please.”
Waiter: “I’ll need to see your ID.”
Customer (giggling while showing her ID): “You think I look like a teenager?”
Waiter: “No. I thought you qualified for our senior citizen discount.”
😀
Why is my body so much older than my mind?!!!
