Another Age Thing

Was pokemon around when you were little?
I am not sure
Well, I am wondering about the olden days
I wouldn't know about the olden days. I didn't live in them.
I mean the 90's, mom
Son, the 1990's were not so long ago and they certainly were not the olden days
No, I mean when you were little; back in the 1890's

The Oldness Remover Invention

KU: Mom, you just had a birthday, right.

Me: Yes, KU

KU: And you didn’t like it because you are so old

Me: Something like that

Kullen: Well, I have an invention that might help

Me: So what is it

KU: It is an invention that removes oldness

Me: Really . How does it work?

KU: You put the person in one end of this big box and when they come out the other end they are younger

Me: Does that mean I would be your age when I came out

KU: You can’t expect miracles. Nothing can remove that much oldness.

Me: Thanks son. So how much oldness could it remove?

KU: About 60 years

Me: Kullen I am only 50. Thanks again.

KU leaves the room and comes back a minute later

KU: I thought of a better invention

Me: What’s that?

KU: a machine that snatches back your words before someone else hears them

Me: That’s a great idea. It might even save your live someday.

KU: That’s why I thought of it.

Older Than Dirt

There are days that I can convince myself that I look pretty good for my age. Then one of my kids opens their mouth and says something like:


KU: Mom was George Washington born before you??????????????????? 
Me: Naw, I grew up with Martha. In fact, those rascals only knew each other three weeks when they married at Martha's estate in Virginia. I was the bridesmaid.
