Act the age you feel you are in your head

So I'm staying 29, acting the prat, being a nuisance and generally ignoring
authority

As disgracefully as possible - especially if you are past the time you start
to receive your old age pension - it's called regression into childhood.
Would that apply to you yet? ;-)

intelligent to say, has temporarily run out of convenient lies, and you
are expecting her to grow up and act her age.

Warning - When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple

By Jenny Joseph


€*

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple

with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired

and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

and run my stick along the public railings

and make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

and pick the flowers in other people's gardens

and learn to spit.

€*

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

and eat three pounds of sausages at a go

or only bread and pickles for a week

and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.

€*

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

and pay our rent and not swear in the street

and set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

How so? 19 = x^1 + 9. Easily substitutes correctly for any age over 18
(or else the 9 digit is forbidden)

As others feel you should act for the age you are. That usually means that
if you are over 30, you should have become a boring old fart full of life's
responsibilities, much like they are. I hit 60 this year, and people have
been telling me it as long as I can remember. I've told the missus that I
will likely never grow up, and that if I ever do, to shoot me. Life's too
short to not have a bit of fun with ... :-)

Not necessarily. You might be counting in Mars/Saturn/Pluto years as
required.

Dogs are the same. Floppy ears only occur in wolf pups. For example.

Dogs are bred to remain puppyish for the whole of their lives.

Of course I was ****ed and I cannot be expected to remember every stupid and
childish thing I did on Saturday night.

I do remember getting thown out of a pub for doing star jumps on the dance
floor (I won that bet) and I know I climbed some up some scaffolding and
pretended to be a monkey before I went out (that was to amuse a 10 year old
child).

And the other thing she said was "your friends are as daft as you" - well of
course they are - that's why they are my friends.
