Going for gold

Yesterday, my daughter again asked why I didn’t do something useful with my time.
Going on about my “doing something useful” seemed to be her favourite topic of conversation.

She was “only thinking of me,” and suggested I go down to the senior centre and hang out with the other seniors.

I did this, and when I got home last night I decided to teach her a lesson about staying out of my business. I told her that I had joined a parachute club.

She said, “Are you nuts? You ‘re almost 69 years old, and you’re going to start jumping out of airplanes?” I proudly showed her that I even got a membership card.

She looked at the membership card and said to me, “Good grief, where are your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club.”

“OH DEAR! I’m in trouble again, and I don’t know what to do… I’ve signed up for five jumps a week,” I told her. She fainted.

Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun!

  1. Yep I think one of the signs you are now seen as having become a senior is when your kids start telling and suggesting what you should or shouldn’t do….the way you did to them. Payback time. x x
