Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them...but your grandchildren are perfect!
Going out is good...coming home is better!
When people say you look 'Great'...they add 'for your age.'
When you needed the discount, you paid full price. Now you get discounts on everything...movies, hotels, flights, but you're too tired to use them.
You forget names..but it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you.
The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15, and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.
You realize you're never going to be really good at anything...especially golf.
Remember when your mother said, "Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident?" Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!
The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.
Women...your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than he does in bed. It's called his 'pre-sleep'.
Your spouse is counting on you to remember things you don't remember.
You used to say, "I hope my kids GET married...Now, "I hope they stay married."
You miss the days when everything worked with just an 'ON' and 'OFF' switch.
You tend to use more 4-letter words...'what?'...'when?'

Actually, my friend, I am reposting some of my old threads from 4-6 years ago.
I am assuming many of the newer contributors to OPP hadn't seen/read them before.
