Things Old People Shouldn't Say




There
are certain things that, when we are young and hear old people say, we
swear we won't say those things just as we swear we will never tell our
kids 'Because I said so' but you will 'kids'--just as you, too, will sit
around talking about your aches, doctors, operations and
pains--remember that 'everything old is new again'--as much as we like
to think we are unique, different, better, whatever we aren't--whatever
we do, say, has been said and done before--that is one thing, at least,
you will learn from getting old!

You will hear yourself saying these things to a younger generation!!!

In my day

 

They just don't make movies like they use to

"----use to cost---"

Anything to do with aches and pains (except to your doctor)

Been there, done that

When I was your age

Every thing old is new again  (Did I say that????)

No one sings like (fill in name) today

And to think I bought a house for what your ------ cost!

We had the same problems

I was doing that in (name the year)

Okay, young ones--what don't you want to hear from old(er) folks????

 





******************************************************************

"Doing nothing for others is the undoing of one's self.

We must be purposely kind and generous or we miss the

best part of life's existence. The heart that goes out of itself

gets large and full of joy. We do ourselves most good

by doing something for others."

Horace Mann, 1796-1859  American Educator, Writer and Politician

I am not a young one. Long time since I was even a middle-aged one. I find myself starting sentences with "When" way too often. As in "When I was," "when I went," "when I saw." I am trying to stop that before it becomes a habit.

well not too often.When was the last time that I talked about old movies and do not recall how long ago it was.Look we are old and that is the way that things are.life must go on.I do not considered myself old,the number is old and not me.As I do not or ever will dwell on this.
This is my thing and will let it be.Why should we talk about this anyway.
I do not recall any of this.But if you say that I do and then let it be.
You hear what I am saying.I swear that at times.Well I better stopped.Gee what even happened to the East Side Kids.

It's so true. We never thought we'd be these old folks saying these things, or at least thinking them. I thought that when I got here, I'd be more original.
