I recently went to my husband's high school class reunion and enjoyed hearing the "class clown" speak on aging.
He started out by telling of his surprise at the motor vehicles by being asked if he wanted to continue to be an organ donor. This shocked him, as it did me months ago, and he questioned whether anyone would want his worn out body parts. He said he planned on getting as many miles out of them as possible. Besides, he queried, how many people are waiting in line for double-chin transplants?
Then he told of his amazement at how older women are having babies because of advances in medical science. It just didn't seem right to him, he said, and besides he can see these older women sitting down in a rocking chair and having to put the baby on the floor to nurse it!
Forever the class clown, he went on and own about how old age isn't for sissies, but it sure is funny! I agreed and laughed loudly along with everyone else. Too old? Getting older is the best thing that can happen to you!
