Who ever said getting older was better, must have been a fool. Getting better at what? Complaining about your feet hurting, you can't stand up straight any more because you have broke your self down working your self to death to raise a house full of ungrateful kids. You make all the big plains of what you are going to do when you retire. You save every dime you can, just waiting for that day that you can head out on the trip of a life time. Oh boy, you get to go on a lot of trips to the doctor, this becomes your trips for life, the doctor keeps you coming back for the rest of your life, or until your money runs out.

So when you do come to get the little brat, and grandma is standing at the door with tears in her eyes as you drive away, don't fool yourself, those are tears of joy.
When you do get old and you can't get out of a chair without help, and you are nearing the end of your life, you ask God to either give you that new body now that he promised or just take you on to heaven. You are so feed up with the pain the sadness and being alone. Your kids that do out live you never come to see you any more. All you have to look forward to is getting to eat a few bites today without getting the runs, and hoping your diaper doesn't leak when you do.
