    I just witnessed the funniest thing

    I was in the drug store at lunchtime and the cutest old couple (in their 80's) were in front of me at the checkout.  The lady was just about to pay for their purchases when the gentleman put three boxes of JuJu Fruits on the counter.  She said soemthing to the extent of "you don't need those, they are bad for you, we aren't getting them".  He replies with, "I worked in that stupid factory for 35 years, put five kids through college, and survived 3 heart attacks, if I want JuJu fruits I am getting them.  If they kill me then so be it."  Needless to say, they bought them.

    I could not stop smiling.  It was so funny because I could see DH and myself having the exact same conversation in 50 years.

    I love old people!!

    I would rather not to think of myself as being old but I at least hope I'm a cute old lady

    That is cute and I can totally see me and my DH having the same conversation.  I'd say the guy had a pretty strong case for why he should have them [:)]

    Old age is the biggest killer of all.  When I get old I am going to spoil myself in all the ways I dared not earlier in life "because it would kill me" or "because it would be bad for me".  And I am going to drive REALLY SLOWLY on purpose and go out of the house in my slippers and act mad in supermarkets.  You can't beat old people. 
     
    Pity.

    It sounds to me like he might have said that a few times already to let it roll off his tongue so easily.  [;)]

    LOL --- I laughed one day had to move out of the high speed lane. Well the person passing me was about 80 and she had a police detector on her dash board.
