Do you realize that the only time
in our lives when we like to get old
is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old,
you're so excited about aging
that you think in fractions.
"How old are you?"
"I'm 4 and half."
You're never 36 and a half,
but you're 4 and a half
going on 5!
That's the key.
You get into your teens,
now they can't hold you back.
You jump to the next number.
"How old are you?"
"I'm gonna be 16."
You could be 12,
but you're gonna be 16.
And then
the greatest day of your life happens:
you become 21.
Even the words
sounds like a ceremony -
you BECOME 21....
But then you turn 30.
Ooohhh, what happened here??
My, you sound like bad milk.
She TURNED?!.....
What changed???
You BECOME 21,
you TURN 30,
you're PUSHING 40,
you REACH 50..
then you make it to 60...
Whew...I didn't think I'd make it...
MAKE IT to 60,
and by then
you've built up so much speed,
you HIT 70!
After that,
it's a day by day thing.
You HIT Wednesday,
you get into your 80s,
you HIT lunch.
And it doesn't end there...
Into the 90's,
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!!
Age, sure is a funny thing.
