Here's just a few things I've finally figured out!
Those stupid hairs that grow in the ears of men as they age...
Well they are there because we have gotten so much knowledge over the years that the brain tells those hairs to grow so we don't have to hear anymore useless junk!
The old man eyes that can't see well anymore...
That's because if we could still see those pretty young girls, our old tired hearts wouldn't be able to take it when the blood pressure got high from the excitement!
Another reason we can't see well...
We're tired. We're not walking way over there to get a closer look at anything anyway. So if we can't see it we don't even have to consider it.
That belly that hangs out so a guy can't see some things anymore...
Well us older guys can't find anyone to play with anyway. So what's the point in seeing something you have no use for anymore? Finally a practical use for the phrase outta sight outta mind!
Then there's those tired old joints and hurting backs...
Well it's time to let the younger guys have the glory and enjoyment of doing work and doing it well. It's time for us to just sit on an old bucket and coach so we can teach them youngun's. Then also those old man ear hairs come into play again so we don't have to listen to them youngun's complain!
There are a few things I haven't quite figured out yet though...
Like how come these old guy ears that can't hear unless someone yells. How is it possible to still hear when someone doesn't want us to?
Then there's those things that are hidden by the overhanging belly...
Why the heck do they still ache like a teenagers do when we have no use of them anymore? That's just wrong, wrong, wrong on so many levels!
Then there is the newest one for me to wonder about...
Why did the young dog who fell asleep on the landing roll over and then bounce off the two steps to the floor! And why did he walk around for the next five minutes with an embarrassed look in his eyes!
Yup, he just did it while I was writing this post : )
Smiles....I think most of this can apply to us old gals, too! I'm developing selective hearing, myself! Sometimes, it pays. You can put someone on "terminal ignore", if you choose to. ☺
ReplyDeletePoor puppy....
Terminal ignore... Hey, that's what my son has : )
