Years

[MrEd]

Just got this from my dad. Thought is was pretty funny.


Subject: Years

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 10 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
thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five!
That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You
jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. "How old are you?"
"I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna' be 16!
And then the greatest day of your life ... you become 21. Even
the words sound like a ceremony .........YOU BECOME
21...YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you
sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out.
There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong?
What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.
Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away.

Before you know it, you REACH 50 ...and your dreams are
gone. But wait, you MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70!
After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you
HIT lunch; you REACH bedtime.

My grandmother won't even buy green bananas! It's an
investment, you know, and maybe a bad one!! And it doesn't
end there.

Into the 90s, 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!"

May you all make it (healthily) to 100 and a half!!

ROFL
Though I'm only 16, I can imagine how it feels.

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60...You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70!.... If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"

LOL Thanks for making my day, MrEd!

What I can't figure out about aging is this: When I turned 30, and again at 40, my wife & friends threw "Over the Hill" parties.
Folks said "It's all down hill from here"

OK, if I'm over the dang hill, and it's all down hill, Why the HE!! do I still have to pedal so #$%*&^ hard and when can I coast the rest of the way???

I've just started to realize over the past year that I'm going to be entering the adult world soon and need to slow down and enjoy things while I can. Couldn't wait to get my car/license, got that....wait, I'm a senior this year, I graduate *shudder*...then the military? Something I've talked about for many years..then reality hits, am I sure I want to? So much doubt......those have been my thoughts recently
