heard this on my local radio a couple of days ago and it made me giggle...some of the answers from listeners were: - the twinkle in your eye is the sun reflecting off your bifocals - you look in the mirror and see your mother staring back at you - everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt doesn't work anyone got any more??

Someone asks if you had a good weekend and you say "Great, I sorted all my cupboards out". And you know they are getting older when they say "Gosh, I'd love to have time to do that!" Helen

you start dancing like your dad when your kids refuse to be seen with you when you cant work your mobile phone without first reading the instructions when people believe that your older sister is your daughter when you look old enough to be in a pub when people talk about the good old days and you cant remember them when you find the milk in the oven
