1. My feet are now too far away (are my arms shrinking? Did my legs get longer?)
2. Those funny noises you make when you stand up really do help.
3. Most of my dreams I forget, and the ones I remember make me understand why I forget the others.
4. I know who you are, I just don't know why
5. When you realize that all the people you knew in highschool are NOT still that age, and if you met them now you'd have to be reintroduced...
6. When I described what hurt, and where, the doctor got
that look and said, give it a few days, you'll be fine. I called him from the hospital to tell him I
was okay,
(now), and thank you.
7. making supper, I pick up the mixing spoon, put it down, and can't remember what I was doing. Or where the spoon is.
8. I dropped my purse on the floor in the grocery store and it took three people to help me stand up again.
9. No one ever asks for my ID for the senior discount now. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I used to make them work for it.
10. I told my husband's young cousin to stop shouting at me, I ain't deaf, sonny, and he said, WHAT?
11. I can stretch but I can't bend. Figure that one out.
12. I am now older than most doctors and all nurses, and any doctors older than I am better not come near me with sharp instruments.
13. I'm the last one standing in my immediate family, except for one rogue cousin, and I intend to keep it that way.
Bonus clip:
I can remember almost every song from the 50s, 60s, and early 70s, and like the folks on Name that Tune, I can usually get the title in three notes. What I cannot recall is what day it is now, and sometimes what month.
