the time- where did it all go.
Today should be a happy day, but it's not. Not really. It is my birthday and I turned 4 - oh no today. So it is time to put away the pretty little dresses and the rumba pants, time to put the petticoats in storage, and time to say good bye to the party dresses, the footed pajamas, and the one piece swimsuits with the little tutus. I will have to say good bye to my old friends Barbie, Ken, and Skipper. The Barbie corvette is up on blocks and the pink power wheels jeep is being sold on craigslist.
But there are things to look forward to.
I can get a nice pair of reading glasses; seeing clearly is fun. I can sign up for AARP. Boyscouts can help me cross the street. Good times ahead.
Please note, this is a vain attempt to get birthday wishes and for people to share old age jokes.

Your just a kid
Come March, I break into real senior citizen territory. I'll be eligible maximum Social Security benefits. 70, seems like a something magic should happen, but I expect to work two more years and put those generous (?) benefits into some kind of interest bearing account and then retire. It seems like yesterday I kissed my wife (as my wife) for the first time, but come August, of the year I retire, we'll be celebrating our fiftieth anniversary. That same year, in June, my oldest grandchild will graduate High School. Her mother, my youngest, is already 40.
So Katie, you can see why I think you're just a kid. Trust me, there's life after 40, so hang in, and remember, in twenty years, and you turn 60, that 60 is the new forty, so you can feel middle aged all over again.
Happy Birthday little girl.

Happiness is being all dressed up and HAVING some place to go.

Nahhh!
Not everything that gets older gets worse. Think like a fine wine it only gets better when it ages. Age is mind over matter, IF you don't mind then it does not matter.
Have a great day!
Happy Birthday missy
I remember being forty-something. I think I remember... now what was it I remember? Ah yes, I remember being bothered by how old I was. Eventually one forgets to do that, and birthdays can be fun again.

Katie! If you take those things out and play with them from time to time I won't tell a soul. Remember you're only as old as you act! Be happy and enjoy your birthday!

What age?
Don't think of it as being forty, think of it as being thirty-ten.

Happy birthday but
what makes you think you're supposed to adopt some stereotype of acting "old"?
happy birthday!
if 60 is the new 40, then 40 is the new 20.
i'll be 43 this year, but i act like i'm still in my 20's
have fun

Sure dear, yep you're really old all right. Yep.
getting older
Boy Scouts - I don't think they walk old ladies across the street but have switched to mugging depending the areas you live in.
Senior discount at the movies
When you go to disney then you get go first before everyone else
senior specials at Dennys, perkins, and Bob Evans.
You will finally fit in all the other older ladies at the bingo parlors.
You can die your hair blue and nobody will have a problem with it.
You can have automobile accidents and tickets but getting out them by faking you are hard of hearing.
Get out of jury duty because it takes you too long to go the bathroom and that you are senile.

It is a long road ahead but I will finally become who I should be.
inside of every old person
is a young person wondering "What the heck happened?"

Happy Birthday!
Hey, no need to part with old friends,
I am 5_ and I still have a Teddy Bear on my bed.
And a lot more stuffies(plush toys) around my apartment.
I don't talk with them quite as much as I use to though.

As a T-woman, I do have a Y chromosome... it's just in cursive, pink script.
I'll trade you
my 61 going on 62 for your 40 something.
At least for me retirement is getting close. Really close. Maybe even this year?
Happy Birthday
Hehe Your as young as you think you are. Best of luck and Lots of positive thoughts for you.
