This morning I entertained Dave and my Oldies by reading from "Dear Abby." It seems that this young woman was having trouble communicating with her parents.
She says: Do you think it's because they're aging?
As it turns out her parents are 44 and 46 years old!
We all had a good laugh. Dave and I each have children in their 40s. And, as you know, my Oldies are old enough to be my parents.
Old is relative. My advice for those 44 and 46 year old parents is to save their money and for the kid to figure out how to "communicate" with them because they're all most likely to be around for a very long time.
