When you’re old people make assumptions – as per my last operation after my pre-med – note to nurse, No, my teeth don’t come out. (when I said they were my own, I didn’t mean I’d paid for them, I meant they are an integral part of me – get your fingers away from my mouth before you lose them!)
Being old isn’t so bad, I’ve done more in the last 25 years than I ever dreamed I would and most of that is of far more worth than anything I did when I was younger.
Getting older teaches you something most kids haven’t learned. That things really ARE getting better. The ‘good old days’ often weren’t – and I can cite examples.
