FORGOT MY GLASSES
Yesterday my daughter again asked why I didn't do something useful with my
time. Talking about my "doing something useful" seemed to be her favorite
topic of conversation. She was "only thinking of me" 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 told her that I had joined a parachute club.
She said, "Are you nuts? You 're almost 72 years old and you're going to
start jumping out of airplanes?" I proudly showed her that I even got a
membership card.
She said to me, "Good grief, where are your glasses! This is a
membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."
"I'm in trouble again, and I don't know what to do... I signed up for five
jumps a week." I told her. She fainted.
Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier but sometimes it can be
fun.
