Getting old does not mean getting dumber


Have you ever noticed the older a person gets, the more they show their personality. Some get meaner acting, while some get sweeter more gentle acting. I wish I were one of the ones that was getting sweeter. But I'm afraid the older I get the less I want to take off people. I have noticed that people will try to walk all over you, if you let them. People seem to think older people don't understand things, as much as younger people, so they talk down to us. I had a woman say to me the other day, Ms Glover you just don't understand. I knew exactly what she was saying, and it was wrong. I said back at her , in a very unpleasant voice, ''Oh, but I do understand, and if you would hush and listen to me, so would you''. I think I got her attention once she realized that I was not going to set back and be cheated.

I bring this up because I want to express to all you younger people out there, We older folks may not move as fast as we use to. We may not talk as eloquent as we use to. We may not hear as well as we use to. But most of us have minds that can out think most younger people, hands down. We may take longer doing it however. At lease we know what 7x9 is without using some hand held device.

God bless, and remember to show us older people, the same respect you show to the rest of the world. and remember you're be this old one day, God willing.
