I'M NOT OLD,,,,JUST MATURE Today at the drugstore, the clerk was a gent. From my purchase this chap took off ten percent. I asked for the cause of a lesser amount; And he answered, "Because of the Seniors Discount." I went to McDonald's for a burger and fries; And there, once again, got quite a surprise. The clerk poured some coffee which he handed to me. He said, "For you, Seniors, the coffee is free." Understand---I'm not old---I'm merely mature; But some things are changing, temporarily, I'm sure. The newspaper print gets smaller each day, And people speak softer---can't hear what they say. My teeth are my own (I have the receipt), and my glasses identify people I meet. Oh, I've slowed down a bit...not a lot, I am sure. You see, I'm not old...I'm only mature. The gold in my hair has been bleached by the sun. You should see all the damage that chlorine has done. Washing my hair has turned it all white, But don't call it gray...saying "blond" is just right. My car is all paid for...not a nickel is owed. Yet a yells, "Old duffer...get off of the road!" My car has no scratches...not even a dent. Still I get all that guff from a punk who's "Hell bent." My friends all get older...much faster than me. They seem much more wrinkled, from what I can see. I've got "character lines," not wrinkles...for sure, But don't call me old...just call me mature. The steps in the houses they're building today Are so high that they take...your breath all away; And the streets are much steeper than ten years ago. That should explain why my walking is slow. But I'm keeping up on what's hip and what's new, And I think I can still dance a mean boogaloo. I'm still in the running...in this I'm secure, I'm not really old ... I'm only mature.  the older the girl, the harder it is blow smoke up her azz, quote 2 1/2 men  |

Good for you, maturity at last. My late husband always said he would grow old but never grow up, seems the same for you. Very good funny blog.

They say that maturity doesn't come with age and with my experience with other people, it is indeed true. Not all adults are mature and not all young people are immature. I just hope that I will gain enough wisdom and reach at least a certain level of maturity as I aged...just enough for me to understand the younger generation and enough to sustain me as I deal with the ups and downs of my life. I definitely don't want to someday be considered as someone who is old but still immature and not worthy of respect at all...and yes, I want to be just mature and not old  And hey, don't seniors get special discounts on things as well? LOL Love is most beautiful when it is given away.
