What about this one, I had my photo taken with my granddaughter the other day, the person showed it to me and I thought to myself why is she showing me that 'old' lady...yes it was me!!! Duh!!
I walked into the Department store and a few steps in saw this old boy walking straight at me. I thought " You silly old *****, if you don't get out of the way, then I'm going to flatten you" and then I saw the mirror frame. Although I haven't yet got to the point of stepping off the escalator and stopping dead in my tracks, much to the "amusement" of all the people behind me.
One of the checkout girls at my local Sainsbury's is a huge hit with us old 'uns. If we have any alcohol or knives in our basket we have to show our bus pass or driving licence before she'll scan them.
You know you ARE old when you buy fish and chips for dinner on your way home from a 4pm hospital appointment..and we got in early at 3.45 Looks like some supper later tonight watching football.
Bit like looking in the mirror first thing in the morning and realising that you are now the wrinkly one! Janet
I've got that fixed, in our on-suite I have a small solar powered light on the 'tank top' which by morning is very low in light just enough to see where to 'go' & I grab m comb just outside & tidy hair before progressing to the family areas for heart started & pill boxing. Never get to see the mirrored majesty of my early morning. Himself does use the regular light to see by but luckily I can get away without it. Don't see anything scary until much later.
Always check meself out in the dressing table mirror as I get up, Just in case he has one eye open. We have one of those little lights too, not for me but he. So as HE can see where to 'go'.
Oh, I guess I'm alone then on staring at my reflection looking for a glimpse of my dear deceased relations.
I've just got a new wardrobe with a mirror inside one of the doors....I swear I look slightly less ancient in it - or maybe it's 'cause I can shut the door on myself
I must be the exception to the rule. I thought that if I was more handsome than I was I couldn't live with myself - but that was then - now I only use a mirror to shave and change the dressing on my abdomen. As for Derek's comment on age - I get that 50% of the time - the other 50% I have to ask.
But do you really ? Mirrors distort images, or so I like to tell myself! Your friends will look past that outer shell if they are real friends.
