Just for chuckles....at least they aren't all true..yet

Have you celebrated your 25th birthday for the last ten years? Twenty? Here are some signs that maybe, just maybe, you might be getting a little older.

1. You walk into a room and forget why you’re there. Repeat four times
before realizing you just wanted a drink of water.

2. You’re asleep, but other’s worry you’re dead.

3. Your friend is dating someone more than half their age, and isn’t
breaking any laws.

4. People call you at 8pm and ask, “Did I wake you?” They did.

5. Happy hour is a nap.

6. You have a party and your neighbors don’t even realize it.

7. You have more hair in your ears than on your head. And you don’t care.

8. It takes three tries to get up from the couch.

9. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.

10. You sink your teeth into a grilled cheese. They stay there.

11. The twinkle in your eye is just the reflection of the sun on your
bifocals.

12. You can’t remember where you put you’re glasses.

13. An hour later you remember you’re wearing your glasses.

14. You sit in a rocking chair, but you can’t get it going.

15. You’re secrets are always safe with your friends because they can’t
remember them.

16. You don’t worry about tying shoelaces. All your shoes are slip-ons.

17. Adult diapers? Actually, they’re kind of convenient.

18. You look both ways before crossing a room.

19. Your worst enemy? Gravity.

20. You see toys from your childhood. In a museum.

21. Your knees buckle. Your belt won’t.

22. You start every sentence with “Nowadays…” or “When I was your age…”

23. Someone says it’s windy today, and you reply, “No, it’s Thursday.”

24. You pet your cat on the bathroom counter. It’s really your toupee.

25. You get winded on the stairs. Going down.


There are many perks to getting older. Such as closer parking, discounts and the fact that you're least likely to get kidnapped.



In fact, you can still play your favorite games. Just… mildly altered.

Have you celebrated your 25th birthday for the last ten years? Twenty? Here are some signs that maybe, just maybe, you might be getting a little older. My sister and I have decided we will just hold on to 50. This is our first year at it, and she seems to look closer to 50 than me. I think it is the grey hair.

1. You walk into a room and forget why you’re there. Repeat four times
before realizing you just wanted a drink of water.
Not there yet, I may walk in and do four things while I do the one thing I wanted. Than stop and wonder why I am doing all the little things when I have big things to do.

2. You’re asleep, but other’s worry you’re dead.
Not often, most nights it me worried about my wife sleeping. I wake between 4 and 5, listen for wife, and slip out of bed so as not to wake her.Then I slip down stairs and check the old dog to make sure he is still with us. He is over 130 in people years, and still ticking this morning.

3. Your friend is dating someone more than half their age, and isn’t
breaking any laws.
I just remember 20 can go into 50 a lot more than 50 can go into 25. Than I smile and hug my 50 year old.

4. People call you at 8pm and ask, “Did I wake you?” They did.
They do, but I am always awake. I always wondered if they were just checking to see if I was up.

5. Happy hour is a nap.
Not for me, If I nap I will not sleep that night.

6. You have a party and your neighbors don’t even realize it.
I think most parties include them, but it is for sure we don’t make much noise.

7. You have more hair in your ears than on your head. And you don’t care.
I have noticed this, but I still care. Why in the world would would we grow hair in our ears.

8. It takes three tries to get up from the couch.
Ha, I don’t use the couch That is the Wife’s resting area, and my chair is easy to get out of.

9. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired
. Notyet, when will that hit me.

10. You sink your teeth into a grilled cheese. They stay there.
I have all my orginal snappers, a mouth full with wisdom teeth and all.

11. The twinkle in your eye is just the reflection of the sun on your
bifocals. It
is those progressive lenses that kill me.

12. You can’t remember where you put you’re glasses.
I fixed that, I buy reading glasses, and in every area where I read I will store a pair or two. I suspect I have around 20 pair in the house alone, several at work and one in each car. Problem solved.

13. An hour later you remember you’re wearing your glasses.
Some times I will find them in my pocket, or hanging from my shirt neck line. It gets bad when you find them when you try to hang the 2nd pair around your neck.

14. You sit in a rocking chair, but you can’t get it going.
This is an easy fix, you just to relocate some of your body weight so the chair will be out of balance. Add a pound or two to the butt, or might be you need a bigger pot belly.

15. You’re secrets are always safe with your friends because they can’t
remember them.
I wouldn’t bet on it.

16. You don’t worry about tying shoelaces. All your shoes are slip-ons.
This one is me, but has been that way for years.

17. Adult diapers? Actually, they’re kind of convenient.
??? Not yet, thank goodness

18. You look both ways before crossing a room.
Depends on if the room has active kids in it.

19. Your worst enemy? Gravity.
This one fits, I am going through the repairs now from falling off a bicycle.

20. You see toys from your childhood. In a museum.
I see them in the books, but than I saw my first lap top in one too, so not too bad I guess.

21. Your knees buckle. Your belt won’t. Oh
that is too close to home.

22. You start every sentence with “Nowadays…” or “When I was your age…”
At home I don’t have to start a conversation, At work it seems I am always telling people what I need by that afternoon.

23. Someone says it’s windy today, and you reply, “No, it’s Thursday.”
My dad tells me that is a gift. When you reach a certain age you just don’t want to hear everything.

24. You pet your cat on the bathroom counter. It’s really your toupee.
Here we are back to the glasses. They have a good point. If lost in the woods, I can start a fire with them to keep warn of attract the park rangers.

25. You get winded on the stairs. Going down.
Not yet, I think having beed rooms upstairs helps, and walking stairs VS the elevator helps too.


There are many perks to getting older. Such as closer parking, discounts and the fact that you're least likely to get kidnapped
. I have not found the closer parking, but I do get lots of AARP mail now.



In fact, you can still play your favorite games. Just… mildly altered.

1. Sag, You're It!
2. Spin the Bottle. Of Mylanta.
Sad to say but this is a work related issue, not age.
3. 20 questions. SHOUTED INTO YOUR GOOD EAR.
4. Doc Doc Goose.
5. Simon Says (something incoherent).

Have you celebrated your 25th birthday for the last ten years? Twenty? Here are some signs that maybe, just maybe, you might be getting a little older.

1. You walk into a room and forget why you’re there. Repeat four times
before realizing you just wanted a drink of water. Doesn't everyone do this once in a while? I did, even when I was young.

2. You’re asleep, but other’s worry you’re dead. Dead to the world but just for a little while.

3. Your friend is dating someone more than half their age, and isn’t
breaking any laws. Don't you mean "LESS than half their age"????

4. People call you at 8pm and ask, “Did I wake you?” They did. No one calls me after 9 p.m. They all know better.

5. Happy hour is a nap. ZZZZZZZ

6. You have a party and your neighbors don’t even realize it. I don't have neighbors......live in the country.

7. You have more hair in your ears than on your head. And you don’t care. I can't see my ears, even with my glasses on.

8. It takes three tries to get up from the couch. I need a lift chair.

9. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.

10. You sink your teeth into a grilled cheese. They stay there. I'VE STILL GOT MY OWN TEETH!!! YAY!!!!

11. The twinkle in your eye is just the reflection of the sun on your
bifocals. I wear contact lenses and sunglasses.

12. You can’t remember where you put you’re glasses. That's why I keep a pair in every room.

13. An hour later you remember you’re wearing your glasses.

14. You sit in a rocking chair, but you can’t get it going.

15. You’re secrets are always safe with your friends because they can’t
remember them. It's the other way around--their secrets are safe with me.

16. You don’t worry about tying shoelaces. All your shoes are slip-ons.

17. Adult diapers? Actually, they’re kind of convenient. Don't laugh. It will happen to you, too, someday.

18. You look both ways before crossing a room. Nah, people better get outta MY way.

19. Your worst enemy? Gravity. So true.

20. You see toys from your childhood. In a museum. This has actually happened to me and I had to tell the museum employees what it was and how to use it.

21. Your knees buckle. Your belt won’t. I DO NOT wear belts.

22. You start every sentence with “Nowadays…” or “When I was your age…” And other people refer to the "olden days" when talking to me.

23. Someone says it’s windy today, and you reply, “No, it’s Thursday.”

24. You pet your cat on the bathroom counter. It’s really your toupee.

25. You get winded on the stairs. Going down. I take the elevator.
