I told my husband, sister, and brother in law this story today. They are all 61. I don’t consider them elderly.
elderly to me would be some frail, stooped over quite older person....if 61 is "elderly" than 81 must be super sonic elderly, or something....
like "gay" used to mean happy...
like "handicapped" and "disabled" used to mean somebody in a wheelchair....
and "poor" used to mean really poor, no food, clothes, etc....
nowadays "poor" people have lap tops,huge tv's,the newest phones, and fancy clothes.....but they still call them "poor"....
