You know Your Getting older when.. ( written by :Mel and Judy )

1. You forget your children's names, and birthdates, and the grandkids all begin to look alike.So they go by one name.." Hey You." or You name them by the parents last name. " Hey Kash, Hey ,Hey Meyers,Hey Parsons, or Hey, hey ! You over there what's his name...kid" And then by accident.. you are calling the neighborhood kid, one of your own grandkids.

2. You look at photo's of the 1950's and don't recognize yourself in a Bikini, and think it is someone else..so you show her the photo and she swears it's you.

3. You take a photo from the dusty box, and your husband swears when he says.." that is you. When I took you to Niagara Falls." Then come to find out, it really isn't you, but some other gal, that he took out on the night you and he had a special date planned,and it was canceled.

4. Your getting older when 45 records wont fit in the CD ram, no matter how hard to try to force them to.

5. You'd rather pull out from a closet the old manual typewriter, then fuss around with the new 2000, computer. But then find out you can't buy a new ribbon to put on the reel, they are obsolete now. But your husband insist that somebody has to make them, so he suggest. " get on the Web and look some company up. By the time you search and search, it is already to late to mail the letter you intended to write in the first place, so you shove the ^ & %$## old typewriter, right back to where you found it, for another rainy day.

6.When you start to climb up a ladder and decide on the first rung, that you have to come right back down,because there is nobody behind, to push you the rest of the way to the top.

7.You know your grandpa is getting old when he swears that he got to talk to "Duke" the other night, when he was watching an old classical of Wayne. " He is still as young as he was years ago. I don't think that fellow ever ages."

8. You know Granny is getting old when, She tells you " Go to the your closet, and fetch me your poodle skirt, so I can sew another matching dog on it.. before you wear it to the senior Prom. ....And don't forget to bring me the scotch tape, to tack up the hemline a wee little bit."

9. When you go to the store, looking up one row after another for the Wonder Bread, wrapped in the cellophane colored balloon wrap.

10. You go to a movie, and before entering, try next door, to find the peanut machine, that you swore was there as far back as you can remember. " and while your sacking those peanuts, get me a 5 cent coke."

11. You visit your old neighborhood, looking for the club house that was on the vacant lot..where on Friday night older kids showed "Little Rascal, Hoppy, Roy , movies. But can't understand how they built that new Mall around it."

12.You know your old when today you find out how easy it is to have babies..no more excess pain, and the mothers are allowed to deliver when the baby is ready to be born, and not held back until the doctor gets there an hour later.

13. You know your getting older when..You can't remember if you had one disease yesterday, or if it came on today. And you swear that Grandma, left you all her worn out bones.
