I´m the life of the party...... even if it lasts until 8 p.m. I´m very good at opening childproof caps... with a hammer. I´m usually interested in going home before I get to where I am going. I´m awake many hours before my body allows me to get up. I´m smiling all the time because I can´t hear a thing you´re saying. I´m very good at telling stories; over and over and over and over... I´m aware that other people´s grandchildren are not nearly as cute as mine. I´m so cared for --- long term care, eye care, private care, dental care.
I´m not really grouchy,
I just don´t like traffic, waiting, crowds, lawyers, loud music, unruly kids, Jenny Craig and Toyota commercials, barking dogs, politicians and a few other things I can´t seem to remember right now.
I´m sure everything I can´t find is in a safe secure place, somewhere. I´m wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that´s just my left leg. I´m having trouble remembering simple words like....... I´m beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps. I´m sure they are making adults much younger these days, and when did they let kids become policemen? I´m wondering, if you´re only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150? And, how can my kids be older than I feel sometimes?
I´m a walking storeroom of facts..... I´ve just lost the key to the storeroom door.
Yes, I´m a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!
