“..I resemble that remark. My brain says I’m 17. my body laughs sarcastically...”
+1. LOL
When I play with my grandkids, my brain says: “Catch that ball!!!” And my body says: “Say what???? Maybe next week...”
My son bought my 5-year old granddaughter a skateboard. There is a skateboard park not far from where they live so we all went over there to let her try it out. One section has a very gentle ramp for little kids. So she talked me into trying it out, so I did. I scooted down it a couple of times with no issues, but the 3rd time, I must have hit a pebble or crack in the concrete. The board immediately stopped, but this 74-year old man just kept agoing...head over heels. By the time they all rushed over to see if I was ok, I had picked myself up assessing my skun knuckles and knee...no serious harm, just a little blood. The worst part of the fall was that it happened in front of a pretty good crowd of people....imbarrassing.
This one lady, using a cane, hobbled up to me and asked me how old I was. I told her 74. She looked at me and cussingly said: “Are YOU F’in’ Crazy???”
I responded: “Oh, yes, mam...nutty as a fruitcake.” She said” “I believe it.” and started to hobble off, so I asked her how old she was. While she was hobbling away, she threw one hand up in the air and mumbled “62”. l guess my professional skateboard days are over evn though no serious damage was done, but I must admit: it hurt and took awhile to heal over.
