The secret of eternal youth

I recently had a birthday.

The coffee house I go to offers free drinks on your birthday, and it was pretty busy when I went there. The teenage barista said, "sorry to make you wait on your birthday."

I said, "That's OK. I waited 73 years to get to this point."

She said, "73? No way! I thought you were like 50!"

I thought about that for a second and then I asked her, "About how old is your dad?"

She said "about 50" , and she pulled out her phone, found a family photo, and showed it to me.

Her father looks much younger than I do, of course. But I guess to a 16 year old, a 50 year old and a 70 year old look about the same!

So that's the secret of staying young -- hang out with teenagers! 😄

I'm not sure whether to be flattered or outraged when a young lady stands up for me to have her seat on a crowded bus!!

@FreddieUK I'm not sure whether to be flattered or outraged when youngsters call me Sir.

@FreddieUK I love it when I buy two bottles of wine and the cashier asks whether I would like help carrying that out to my car!

@DrWatson @badminton I don't drink alcohol, but when I buy my rum babas in the supermarket at the self-checkout they always have to confirm I'm over 18. I saw that amongst the options they have on the screen is one that just reads 'Obvious'. 😄

I turned 50 before I retired. Told some of the students I hit 50 and they said “You are not 50, that’s my mother’s age, you look like you are closer to 40”. Made me feel good.

I'm always surprised when little old ladies smile and say hi to me. Then I remember I'm a little old man.

I remember reading an old Peanuts cartoon:

The kids in Miss Othmar's kindergarten class are speculating about how old she is.

One kid says, "My mom says she's 29."

Another kid says, "Don't be silly. Nobody's THAT old."

Kinda like the secret of staying thin -- hang around plus sized people!

Like they say you're as young as you feel.
