WHERE ARE YOUR GLASSES?
Yesterday
my daughter e-mailed me again asking why I didn't do something useful
with my time. Like sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a
good thing, I said.
Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation.She
was "only thinking of me" she said, and suggested I go down to the
senior center and hang out with the guys. I did this and when I got
home last night I decided to teach her a lesson about staying out of my
business.
I e-mailed
her and told her that I had joined a parachute club.She replied, "Are
you nuts? You are 79 years old, and now you're going to start jumping
out of airplanes?" I told her that I even got a membership card and
e-mailed a copy to her.
She
immediately telephoned me, "Good grief, where are your glasses! This
is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."
"Oh,
my goodness, I'm in trouble again; I really don't know what to do... I
signed up for five jumps a week." The line went quiet and her friend
picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted.Life as a
senior citizen is not getting any easier but sometimes it can be fun.
