Senior Moment

HAHA!  An email from my Grandma follows. I got chewed out by a senior citizen today because she could not get her child proof cap off. She did beat it with a hammer and everything else she could find.  She was all kinds of fired up over it. It was precious.  Made my day.  I also got asked why Tylenol took the cotton out of their bottles.  Gotta love the vexing things that occupy people's time and minds.  Here it is.  The last line is my favorite thing I have heard all day!!  Enjoy,

"Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.

HOWEVER, 
upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT the senior citizens who took:

The
 melody out of music,
The
 pride out of appearance,
The
 courtesy out of driving,
The
 romance out of love,
The
 commitment out of marriage,
The
 responsibility out of parenthood,
The
 togetherness out of the family,
The
 learning out of education,
The
 service out of patriotism,
The
 Golden Rule from rulers,
The
 nativity scene out of cities,
The
 civility out of behavior,
The
 refinement out of language,
The
 dedication out of employment,
The
 prudence out of spending,
The
 ambition out of achievement or
God
 out of government and school.And we certainly are NOT  the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others!!

And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country. 
Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!

YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!

I'm the life of the party...... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.

I'm very good at opening childproof caps.... with a hammer.

I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.

I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.

I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!

Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back to them, but I would send it to many more too!Spread the laughterShare the cheerLet's be happyWhile we're here.Go Green  -  Recycle CONGRESS!! "
