You're Not a Kid Anymore When

You consider coffee one of the most important things in
life.

You quit trying to hold in your stomach, no matter who walks
into the room.

You enjoy watching the news.

The phone rings and you hope it's not for you.

The only reason you're still awake at 4 am is indigestion.

People ask what color your hair USED to be.

You're proud of your lawnmower.

Your best friend is dating someone half their age AND isn't
breaking any laws.

You start singing along with the elevator music.

You really do want a new washing machine for your birthday.

Your car has four doors.

You routinely check the oil in your car.

You've owned clothes so long that they've come back into
style TWICE.

You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

7 AM is your idea of "sleeping in."

You don't remember when you got that mole...or the one next
to it.

You write thank you notes without being told.

Neighbors borrow your tools.

On Aging

*Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids?

*If you're less than ten years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half."
You're never 36 and a half ...you're four and a half going on 5.

*You get into your teens; now they can't hold you back.
You jump into the next number. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16."

*Then the great day of your life; you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony.
You BECOME 21...Yes!!!

*Then you turn 30. What happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk.
HE TURNED; we had to throw him out. What's wrong? What changed?
You BECOME 21; you TURN 30.

*Then you're PUSHING 40....stay over there. You REACH 50.

*So you BECOME 21; you TURN 30; you're PUSHING 40; you
REACH 50; then you MAKE IT to 60.

*By then you've built up so much speed, you HIT 70.
After that, it's a day by day thing. You HIT Wednesday...

*You get into you're 80's; you HIT lunch, you HIT 4:30
My grandmother won't even buy green bananas.
"Well, it's an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one."

*And it doesn't end there...

*Into the 90's, you start going backwards. "I was JUST 92."

*Then a strange thing happens; if you make it over 100, you become a little kid again.
"I'm 100 and a half."

*And remember - growing old is only mind over matter: if you don't mind, it don't matter.

Have to love those Golden Years.

This may not be about old, but I am old and can identify. It just took me a long time to get there.

I was told that I was a big kid that never grew up while others said, "You need to go back and allow your Inner Child to play and not take life so seriously."
