> Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time.
> “Like, me sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing?” I asked.
> My "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation.
> She was "only thinking of me", she said and suggested that I go down to the Senior Center and join something.
> I did this and when I got home last night, I decided to play a prank on her.
> I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a Parachute Club.
> She replied, "Mother, are you nuts?  You are 78 years old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?”
> I told her that I even got a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her.
> She immediately telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Mom, where are your glasses?! This is a Membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club.”
> I calmly replied, "Oh my, I think I'm in real trouble then, because I signed up for five jumps a week!!”
> The line went quiet and her friend picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted.
> Life as a Senior Citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it can be real fun.
> Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer"
> Remember: Don't make old people mad. We don't like
> being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to tick us off.
