A Saturday for Pondering

Hey Guys

I got this today in an email and I thought you might like it.

Age is Funny

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 4 and half."

You're never 36 and a half, but you're 4 and a half going on 5!

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 sounds like a ceremony-you BECOME 21. YES!!!!

But then you turn 30. Ooohhh, what happened here?? 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... my dreams are gone...

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you

REACH 50 and then you MAKE IT to 60... Whew! I didn't think

I'd make it.

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, You're PUSHING 40, you

REACH 50, you MAKE IT to 60, and 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 80s, you HIT lunch. I mean 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!!"
