“62nd Birthday”

My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was and I told him, “Sixty-two.”

He was quiet for a moment, then he asked, “Did you start at one?”

“Retirement”

While I sat in the reception area of my doctor’s office, a woman rolled an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room. As she went to the receptionist’s desk, the man sat there, alone and silent.

Just as I was thinking I should make small talk with him, a little boy slipped off his mother’s lap and walked over to the wheelchair. Placing his hand on the man’s, he said, “I know how you feel. My mom makes me ride in the stroller, too.”

Overheard in a hat shop…

Saleslady: “That’s the hat for you! It makes you look ten years younger.”

Customer: “Then I certainly don’t want it. I can’t afford to put on ten years every time I take off my hat!”
