How To Tell
*
You’re Getting Old
Doc Walters guve me this for
mula: It's a sure-fire sign you're
getting old when you resent
other people having a good time.
And the Doc means it hasn't
much to do with age. There are
old folks in our town who get a
big kick out of seeing other peo
ple enjoy themselves—seems to
keep them young in spirit, with
a twinkle in their eyes!
And there are some others
who resent the young folks go
ing fishing; who feel that com
munity games and dances are
jnst a waste of time: or who
I criticize temperate people for
I enjoying a mellow glass of beer
with friends.
They’re often well-intention
ed folks, too. ISut from where I
sit, the minute we criticize our
neighbors for enjoying whole
some pleasures—like a game of
horseshoes, a glass of beer, or
an afternoon’s fishing—it’s a
sure sign we’re growing old (in
spirit anyway) no matter what
our age is.
