Do you realise that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids?
Do you realise that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids?
If you’re less than ten years old, you’re so excited about ageing that you think in fractions.
“How old are you?”
“I’m four and a half.”
You’re never 36 and a half... you’re four and a half going on 5.
You get into your teens; now they can’t hold you back.
You jump to the next number.
“How old are you?”
“I’m gonna be 16.”
Then the great day of your life arrives; you turn 21.
Even the words sound like a ceremony.
YOU HAVE TURNED 21... yes!
Then you turn 30. What happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk.
Then you’re pushing 40... stay over there! You reach 50.
By then you’ve built up so much speed, you hit 70. After that, it’s a day-by-day thing. You hit Wednesday.
You get into your 80’s; you hit lunch, you hit 4:30.
In the 90’s, you start going backwards. “I am just 92.”
Then a strange thing happens; if you make it over 100, you become a little kid again.
“I’m 100 and a half!”
A woman was out golfing one day when she hit her ball into the woods. She went there to look for it and found a frog in a trap.
The frog said to her, “If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes.”
The woman freed the frog.
“Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes — that whatever you wish for, your husband will get 10 times more better,” it said.
The woman replied, “That would be okay,” and for her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
The frog warrned her, “You do realise that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world.”
The woman replied, “That will be okay because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will only have eyes for me.”
So, Kazam — she’s the most beautiful woman in the world!
For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.
The frog said, “That will make your husband the richest man in the world, and he will be ten times richer than you.”
The woman said, “That will be okay because what is mine is his and what is his is mine.”
So, Kazam — she’s the richest woman in the world!
The frog inquired about her third wish, and she answered, “I’d like a mild heart attack.”
