I Love Old People

I’m not sure why I like being around old people. They are often simple, like children, which gives me peace of mind. They can be cranky, but at least you know where you stand with them. I might say I value their wisdom, but the ones I know are mostly just goofy. Maybe it’s because I have good memories of my grandparents and miss them.

Put this up on billboard maybe you can help age bias people
Damn, ageism is as bad as race bigotry in America.

I had no idea Americans detested older people so
Ageism is a issue no one wants to talk about

You know I had a girlfriend who told me that a neighbor couple on her street in their 70's had to give up their daily walks for exercise because children threw rocks at them.

And at my daughter's former address her next door neighbor was a lady in her 70's.
The children on her street stuffed rags in her gutter downspout and knocked down her wooden fence.

And one Sunday while she was at church my daughter took videos of boys picking up her neighbor lady's flower planters and busting them on her sidewalk.

Yeah you keep being sweet to older people you are rare and wonderful wish it was more like you!
