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 said.
Talking about my "doing something useful" seems
to be her favorite topic of conversation.
She was "only thinking of
me" she said, and suggested I go down to the senior center and hang out with
the guys.
I did this and when I got home last night I decided to teach
her a lesson about staying out of my business.
I e-mailed her and told
her that I had joined a parachute club.
She replied, "Are you nuts? You
are 83 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, "Good grief, where are your
glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute
Club."
"Oh man, I'm in trouble again; I really don't know what to do...
I signed up for five jumps a week."
The line went quiet and her friend
picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted.
Life as a
senior citizen is not getting any easier but sometimes it can be fun
