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 ten 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 5.
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.
Eventually.
Then the great
day of your life; you become 21. Even the words sound like a
ceremony.
You BECOME 21....Yes!!
Then you turn
30. What happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk.
He
TURNED; we
had to throw him out. What's wrong? What changed? You
BECOME
21; you TURN
30.
Then you're
PUSHING 40....stay over there. You REACH 50.
You BECOME 21;
you TURN 30; You're PUSHING 40; you REACH 50; then you MAKE
IT to 60.
By then you've
built up so much speed, you HIT 70. After that, it's a
day by day
thing. You HIT Wednesday...
You get into
your 80's; you HIT lunch, you HIT 4:30. My Grandmother won't
even buy green
bananas. "Well, 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."
