The other day my dad made a remark
about old people that got me thinking about them differently. He used
to play the piano at St. Therese's for the elderly folk and said that
every time he did, he would look out across the see of wrinkly faces
and short-term memories and think about how these people used to be
young and attractive. The women used to be “dishes” as he said,
not joking. This reminded me of “Young @ Heart” because old
people really are just that. You just have to look past the wrinkles,
the dull stare, and the white hair. This also got me thinking what it
will be like to be old, wise, and have people look at you like you're
a dinasour. It will be interesting, I will make sure. But there is a
heck of a lot between now and then. Any body else think about what
they are going to be like as cranky old people or is that just me?
Probably just me because I'm weird...
