Getting Older Creeps Up On You

Friends, ain’t it funny how we’re getting older in a hurry? Well you just have to deal with it!

Pam and I went down to check on John Barry. We could tell he was home because the TV was on so loud we could hear it when we got out of the pickup! He finally heard the dogs barking and geese honking, and let us in!

We were talking, or trying to, and Pam said, “Turn the TV down!”

He said, “Why? It ain’t loud!”

She said, “What, you can’t hear that?”

He said, “Naw, it ain’t bothering me!”

Anyway, we sat down and Pam was doing something in the kitchen. I said, “Been windy today!”

John Barry said, “Wednesday? I thought today was Thursday?”

And I said, “THURSDAY!”

He said, “Yes I’m thirsty too! Pam, bring us some tea?”

We both told him he needed some hearing aids.

He said, “Next time y’all go to Fred’s, see if they got ’em. Saw on TV where they sell ’em now, cheap!”

Pam tried to tell him you can’t just go buy them at Fred’s Dollar Store, but I don’t think he heard her.

He said, “Don’t worry, I can get some at the funeral home.”

Pam looked at him and said, “John Barry, you can’t get hearing aids at the funeral home!”

John Barry said, “Why not? It’s where I got my teeth!”

And life goes on, on Thompson Hill.
