Fun With Seniors

Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me AGAIN, asking why I didn't do

something useful with my time.


"Like sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing?"

I asked. Talking about my "doing-something-useful" seems to be her

favorite topic of conversation.



She was "only thinking of me," she said, and suggested that I go down

to the Senior Center and hang out with the fellows. I did this and

when I got home last night, I decided to play a prank on her. I

e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a Parachute Club. She

replied, "Are you nuts? You are 84-years-old and now you're going to

start jumping out of airplanes?"



I told her that I even got a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to

her. She immediately telephoned me and yelled:

"Good grief, Dad, where are your glasses?! This is a Membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."


"Oh man, I'm in trouble again," I said. "I really don't know what to

do. I signed up for five jumps a week!!"


The line went dead.





Life as a Senior Citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it

can be fun.
