Wow, I realized today that I am old. That is a startling shock when it becomes a reality. Today I was at the mall waiting in the Chick-fil-a line when some teenaged punk cut in front of me. I mentioned to him that there was a line and he replied,"yeah, there are two lines". I then replied, "there is one line that waits for an open cashier." He then ordered while I was still waiting in line. Then the next cashier call for "next" which was me. I turned to him and said," gee look, there is only one line waiting for an open cashier. I guess you are more entitled to your food then the rest of us. Oh wait, I was right tool there is only one line and you just cut." I really wanted to throttle him and beat the !@#! out of him!
OMG, is that what an old bitter lady would say. Or was I justified? Of course his friends were all telling him that he was wrong and that he cut in line.
Then I went to have a few drinks with some former students. They are only in their 20's while I approach my 40's. Really??? I am almost 40.
Speaking of 40's, I looked at Zane's football friends parents and I am a good 4-10 years older then them. Some of them could have been former students. I am feeling the age.... that is what scares me the most! Is it just a number or is it the definate?
Apparently genetics causes us to use the same vocabulary. I use "throttle" frequently which is exactly what that little twit deserved.
ReplyDeleteWe routinely join Sharon's former students for cocktails. We have determined that it keeps us feeling young as opposed to feeling old.
We are all still pretty young. Enjoy it without worry.
