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 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.
