Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is
when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited
about aging that you think in fractions.
How old are you?...
"I'm four
and a half" ...
You're never 36 and a half ...
You're four and a half
going on five!
That's the key. You get into your teens,
now
they can't hold you back.
You jump to the next number.
How old
are you?
"I'm gonna be 16."
You could be 12,
but you're
gonna be 16.
And then the greatest day of your life happens ...
you become 21.
Even the words sound like a ceremony
... you
BECOME 21 ... YES!!!
But then you turn 30 ...
ooohhh what
happened there?
Makes you sound like bad milk ...
He TURNED, we
had to throw him out.
There's no fun now.
What's
wrong?? What changed??
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30,
then
you're PUSHING 40 ...
stay over there, it's all slipping away
...
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30,
you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50
...
and your dreams are gone.
Then you MAKE IT to 60 ...
you
didn't think you'd make it!!!!
So you BECOME 21, you TURN 30,
you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50,
you MAKE IT to 60 ...
then you
build up so much speed you HIT 70!
After that, it's a day by day
thing.
After that, you HIT Wednesday...
You get into your
80's,
you HIT lunch. You TURN 4:30,
my grandmother won't even buy
green bananas ...
it's an investment you know, and maybe a bad
one.
And it doesn't end there ...
into the 90's you
start going
backwards...
I was JUST 92 ...
Then a strange thing happens.
If you make it over 100,
you become a little kid again ...
"I'm
100 and a half!!!!"
