Ahh... and my 44-year old son is just beginning to show grey at the temples. One can't tell with daughters.

The Bathtub Test

During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"

"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the
Bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

Not being able to remember where you left your shoes is not any particular problem, but if you find them on the second shelf of the fridge, you just might be getting old.

Or if you find the milk carton on the counter and your coffee mug in the fridge, ditto..

I have two very good friends who are twins. They've just reached 45 . I suppose that we look mildly alike .
I was walking down the road with them the other day & an old Indian man, whom they know , came up to them & said - " ah finally - i get to meet your father !! "

We all laughed & i thought - must be getting old.

A few days ago I sneezed, tried to supress it as to not wake my grand daughter, and threw out my back.
