Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we were kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you are so excited about aging that you think in fractions: “I'm four and a half!" You're never 36 and a half, you are four and a half going on five! That’s the key.
Then you hit your teens, and now they can't hold you back. You
jump a few months ahead or a few years ahead.
“I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, gonna be 16! And then the
greatest day of becoming 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony You BECOME
21. YES!
You turn 30. Ooh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad
milk! He turned; we had to throw him out. He is no fun now; you're just
a sour dumpling know What's changed?
You become 21, you turn 30, then you're pushing 40.
Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you reach 50
and your dreams are gone.
But wait! You make it to 60. You didn't think you would! So,
you become 21, turn 30, push 40, reach 50 and make it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you hit 70! After that it's
a day-by-day thing; you hit Wednesday!
You get into your 8os, and every day is a complete cycle; you hit
lunch; you turn 4:30; you reach bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the
90s, you start going backwards. "I was just 92."
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!
