When you're a toddler you spend all your time wishing you were one of the big bairns that go to school

 

When you're in Primary School you just want to go to the 'Big School'

 

When you're at High School you wish you were working

 

When you are working, you are too busy to care,

 

Then you hit thirty and spend the rest of your life wishing you were a toddler again!

Mine are hitting me in my mid-forties. I am a little stiffer every morning

 

Reminds me of a joke I once heard.

 

A frail 90 year old man goes see his doctor and the doctor asks him how he's feeling.

 

"I am stronger today than I have been at any other time in my life" replies the old man.

 

"Really?" asks the surprised doctor.

 

"Yes, when I was 18 and I had...."

 

Nah better not.

On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door of

your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will

give you a life span of twenty years."

 

 

The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years

and I'll give you back the other ten?" So God agreed.

 

 

On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life

span." The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?" And God agreed.

 

 

 

On the third day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?" And God agreed again.

 

 

On the fourth day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry and

enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years." But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

 

 

 

So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy

ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our

family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the

grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

 

Life has now been explained to you.

 

PS I'm still in the 45-54 bracket (barely)

Well Ally, I was just about to post you a Happy Birthday (as I enjoy your posts nearly as much as your picture) when I looked up and realised last Saturday I moved into the next age bracket - BOO!!

 

Now I'm all depressed and think I'll have to go home and open a bottle of El Plonko to console myself.

 

29 - I wish!!

 

Happy Birthday anyhoo.
