A look at ageing and relationships with humour

 My wife and I were watching TV, and a commercial came on for a wrinkle cream.

She said, "Do you think I should try that?"

I said, "Why? You're not the target demographic yet."

And that's when the fight started.

I told my wife, "You still look as beautiful as the day we met."

She smiled and said, "Aww, that’s so sweet!"

Then I added, "Except now, your beauty comes with more character lines."

And that's when the fight started.

We were at the doctor’s office for our annual checkup, and the doctor asked if I was staying active.

I said, "Does chasing after my wife when she can’t remember where her keys are count?"

And that’s when the fight started.

I was flipping through our wedding album when my wife sat next to me.

She said, "Do you think I’ve changed much since then?"

I replied, "Not at all! The photo just needs better lighting now."

And that’s when the fight started.

My wife was doing yoga in the living room, and I said, "Wow, you’re really flexible for your age!"

She smiled and said, "Thanks!"

I added, "Yeah, your joints make all kinds of interesting sounds now."

And that's when the fight started.

I asked my wife what she wanted for her birthday.

She said, "Something that’ll make me feel young again."

So I handed her a coloring book and crayons.

And that’s when the fight started.

My wife told me she read an article that said a positive attitude can help you age gracefully.

I said, "Great! You’re already aging; now you just need the grace part."

And that’s when the fight started.

We were grocery shopping, and I grabbed a pack of energy drinks.

My wife said, "Don’t you think you’re a little old for those?"

I replied, "Well, I’d grab the prune juice, but you already put it in the cart."

And that's when the fight started.

I was reading the newspaper when my wife asked, "What does the horoscope say to me?"

I said, "It says you should stop asking me questions while I’m trying to read."

And that’s when the fight started.

My wife said, "Let’s make a bucket list for our golden years."

I said, "Sure, as long as it includes sitting quietly and not spending money."

And that’s when the fight started.
