Midlife is when the
growth of the hair on our legs slows down. This gives us plenty of time to
care for our newly acquired mustache.
Mid-life is when you
go to the doctor and you realize you are now so old, you have to pay someone
to look at you naked.
The good news about
mid-life is that the glass is still half-full. Of course, the bad news
is that it won't be long before your teeth are floating in it.
Mid-life women no longer
have upper arms, we have wingspans ... we are no longer women in sleeveless
shirts, we are flying squirrels in drag.
Mid-life has hit you
when you stand naked in front of a mirror and can see your rear end without
turning around.
You know you are getting
old when you go for a mammogram and you realize it is the only time someone
will ask you to appear topless in film.
You know you've crossed
the mid-life threshold when you're in the grocery store and you hear a version
of "Stairway to Heaven"...not by Led Zepplin...and you can sing every
word.
Mid-life brings the
wisdom that life throws you curves ... and that you're now sitting on your
biggest ones.
It's very hard to "get
jiggy with it" in mid-life ... jiggly, yes; jiggy, no.
Mid-life is when you
want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube top and scream, "Listen, honey,
even the Roman Empire fell, and those things will too!"
Mid-life can bring out
your angry, bitter side. You look at your latte-swilling, beeper-wearing
know-it-all teenager and think, "For this I have stretch marks?"
Mid-life is when you
start to repeat yourself ... and your chins follow suit.
Mid-life is when your
memory really starts to go. The only thing you still retain is
water.
You become more reflective
in mid-life. You start pondering the "big" questions -- what is life,
why am I here ... how much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's
no longer a healthy choice.
Hope you've enjoyed these chuckles...did
YOU see yourself in more than a few of them????? |
