Welcome to Rainbow Snippets weekend!
Carl [first person] ponders getting old in “The Hippie Whisperer“… Longer than six sentences, my apologies. 😀
—————————————————————————————
“I have a question,” I declared.
“Don’t hurt yourself,” Larry teased.
I ignored the manly titters around me. “Are we old?”
“Bite your tongue, traitor!” Rod said, in mock horror.
“I’d prefer to say we’re in our prime and the fun has just begun,” Larry added.
“Have you been talking to the wicked witch in the mirror again?” asked Sam.
“Twice today someone said I was old. Is there a rule that says once you’re over forty, you’re decrepit?” I asked.
“As long as you don’t think that way, it’s not an issue,” Larry said.
“I never gave it much thought myself,” Rod added.
“Well, I certainly don’t feel old. I exercise, work hard, take care of my son. I’m vital, active, and relevant.”
“Sounds like an ad for Metamucil.” Larry winked at me.

Love the back and forth here, and the last line is so good its, er, moving. (runs away)
LOL, thanks, Jeanne!
I do love their banter. But I can see where he’s coming from. What others see and one feels doesn’t always overlap…
So true!
That last line slayed me (also I’m feeling that whole am I old question)
My husband just turned 60 a few months ago…he is determined to ignore the fact that he has been alive for six decades, LOL.
LOL at the last line!
You’re only as old as you feel guys. (For me, some days that’s 87 and others it’s 27. It averages out.)
Agreed! 🙂
If they’re old, I’m ancient! 😁
Right? Me, too! 🙂
Classic. I love it.
😀 Thanks
Awesome last line! I’m feeling a bit old today after the gym. ~grin~ Thank you for sharing. Be well and Happy Writing!
Thank you! 😉
