Yesterday, a day after my son's 44th birthday, I commented on the grey in his beard while helping him with his car. Told him it made me feel old.
Ungrateful wretch just laughed, then pointed out his brother will be 49 next month. Grrr!
Yes, I do know where sympathy falls between in the dictionary.
Children have no respect for us elders. They just keep on having birthdays just to make us feel older. I laugh because their kids will to the same to them.

ReplyDeleteOld age and cunning..............
My boys keep trying to grow beards and it's bloody annoying. Of course they're teenagers and think it makes them look gown up, which it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteThe eldest son will have discovered that over the last month at Ft. Benning, I hope.
Gray in your beard is a sign of potential wisdom... ;^)
ReplyDeleteI pointed out that WSF should look in the mirror. He was not amused and said something about that was why he stayed clean shaven. He does not age gracefully.

ReplyDeleteThe Army has their ways. I wore a beard for nearly ten years to look older. It worked.

Since I do everything else so gracefully, I should be excused in one area.
