Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for August 28, 2020

There’s no turning back.

Remember aging is inevitable, maturity is a choice.

If you do, please share how you did it.

You can’t be twenty

On Sugar Mountain

Though you think that you’re leaving there too soon

I don’t mind being a adult. It’s being old that bothers me.

How much did you pay for it in the first place, Aunty?!

It’s not what it’s made out to be, and some of the parts are falling off!

More aptly, “Say What?” as to the “adult thing.”

Did you keep your receipt?

Gawd, I wouldn’t be young again for anything. . ."How lovely to sit here in the shade, With none of the woes of man or maid, I’m glad that I’m not young anymore. . . That tiny remark that tortures you, The thought that her (his) friends won’t like you, too. . .No more frustrations, no morning after surprise, No aggravations, just one reluctant reply, “Monsieur, goodbye. . .”

I have a number of sayings on aging.

I will get older, but I will never be old.

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

We do not stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.

I have the wisdom of an ancient Greek philosopher and the curiosity of a three-year-old. Unfortunately I also have the energy of an ancient Greek philosopher.
