We Must Stop This immediately!
Have you ever noticed that when you're of a
certain age, everything seems uphill from where you are? Stairs are steeper.
Groceries are heavier.
And, everything is
farther away. Yesterday I walked to
the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!
And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers
all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves,
endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What
do they think I am, a
lip reader?
I also
think they are much younger than I was
at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am.
I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged
so much that she didn't even recognize
me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this
morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection........Well,
REALLY NOW- even
mirrors are not made the way they used to be!
Another thing, everyone drives so fast today!
You're risking life and limb if you just happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them.
All I can say is,
their brakes must wear out awfully fast,
the way I see them
screech and swerve in my rear view
mirror.
Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they
suddenly start
labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20?
Do they think no one notices that these things no longer fit around the waist, hips, thighs, and
bosom?
The people who make bathroom scales
are pulling the same prank, but in reverse. Do they think I actually "believe"
the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much!
Just who do these people think they're fooling?
I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the
telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books
in such small type
that no one could ever find a number in here!
All I can do is pass along this warning: Maturity is under attack! Unless
something drastic happens, pretty soon "everyone" will have to suffer these
awful indignities.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS
CONSPIRACY STOPPED!
PS: I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something has caused
fonts to be smaller than they once were, too!
