Do you belong to a club?

I think the idea of Senior Community Centers are a great idea and every senior should join. The range of activities they have is amazing and the people you meet are friendly and welcoming. One of my friends sent me this gem, so I thought I would share.

Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time.

“Like, me sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing?” I asked.

My "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favourite topic of conversation.

She was "only thinking of me", she said and suggested that I go down to the Senior Center and join something.

I did this and when I got home last night, I decided to play a prank on her.

I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a Parachute Club.

She replied, “Mother, are you nuts ‘? You are 78 years old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"

I told her that I even got a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her.

She immediately telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Mom, where are your glasses’?! This is a Membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."

I calmly replied, "Oh my, I think I'm in real trouble then, because I signed up for five jumps a week!!”

The line went quiet and her friend picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted.

Life as a Senior Citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it can be really fun.

Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer “

Remember: Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to tick us off.
