Have
you ever noticed that when you're of a certain age, everything seems
uphill from where you are? Stairs are steeper. Groceries are heavier. And,
everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was
dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!
And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones.
They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just
keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message
until they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader?
I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the
other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an
old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even
recognize me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this
morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own refection........Well,
REALLY NOW- even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!
Another thing, everyone drives so fast today! You're risking life and limb
if you just happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can
say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them
screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.
The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but in
reverse. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial?
HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people
think they're fooling?
I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but
the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the
phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in
here!
All I can do is pass along this warning: Maturity is under attack! Unless
something drastic happens. Pretty soon "everyone" will have to suffer
these awful indignities.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET
THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!
