Where are your glasses?
Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again asking why I didn't do something useful with my time.
“Like sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing”, I
said. Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be her
favorite topic of conversation. She was "only thinking of me" she said,
and suggested I go down to the Men's Shed and hang out with the guys. I
did this and when I got home last night I decided to teach her a lesson
about staying out of my business. I e-mailed her and told her that I had
joined a parachute club.
She replied, "Are you nuts? You are 75 years old, and now you're going to start jumping out of planes?"
I told her that I even got a membership card and e-mailed a copy to her.
She immediately telephoned me, "Good grief, where are your glasses?
This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club.
"Oh man, I'm in trouble again; I really don't know what to do... I
signed up for five jumps a week." The line went quiet and her friend
picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted.
Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier but sometimes it can be fun.
