at the library today i had a brief conversation with an elderly lady in the music section that went something like this:
her: excuse me are these the movies?
me: um no sorry these are the c.d.'s
her: what are c.d.'s?
me: well, they have music on them...
her: oh oh well where are the movies?
it must be said: i really just don't want to get old. i don't. sorry all you wonderful people in your 30's who say "hey your 30's are so much better than your 20's!" and all you sincere folks who say "oh just wait for your 40's, it's truly the best time in your life!" and also so sorry to all you genuinely good hearted friends who tell me "your 50's are really when you know yourself and enjoy life the most!". strangely i've never had anyone in their 60's, 70's or 80's tell me anything of the kind...just sayin. i want to always know where the movies are.
...R...
well just think, when she was your age movies and music looked nothing alike. now they look exactly the same, poor thing probably couldn't tell a vhs from an 8 track either.
ReplyDeletedon't worry about getting old, i'll be a few years behind you so when you lose the movies we'll have 2 or 3 years where i'll still be "enjoying life the most" and i'll make sure you can tell the difference between movies and music... and then i'll slowly go insane, i'm thinking duel personality's might do the trick.
