I look younger than I am & have all my life. I’m half amused and half annoyed when I get told when “you’re as I as I am” and when I ask how old they are it’s a good bit younger than I am. From things like losing weight being physically active, recovering from an injury etc. The worst was my last job at Walgreens. Despite my telling him over & over I was in my 60’s, he said I looked like I was in my 30’s (a bit of exaggeration on his part), so he treated me as if I was 30. Funny the kids who were in their 30’s weren’t expected to do as much as I was. That was when I decided to take early retirement as I was able to do.
Older man on park bench says to Ziggy, “When you get to be as old as I am you get to wear a 2 piece suit that actually comes with trousers with matching colors to the jacket. Have you ever heard of such a thing, as trousers?”
Not in my case, I am older and my body feels it. A couple of years I took a hard fall on cement, that really messed my body up, that did require surgery. Now I cannot do what I need.

When Ziggy becomes as old as Mr. P., will today be “the good old days” for him, too?

My mom is 95, her sentences usually start with, “If you get as old as I am…” or “What were we talking about?”

When I was younger, I didn’t talk about it much. :)
