You know you are getting old when:

When you're happy to let your grandchildren chauffeur you around.

When you are both laying on the floor after putting the 'blanket' around the Christmas tree and ask, "How are we going to get up?" Rude understanding of the "I've fallen down, and can't get up." commercials

Lol. I learned this maneuver when I took a skiing class once, long ago and far away. Get on your hands and knees. Put your feet where your knees are, or at least one if that's all you can manage. Now hoist your butt up in the air. If you can get hold of something with your hands, like the couch (in class it was the ski poles) or your spouse or even a willing dog, the rest should be pretty easy. Not the tree.

This only works if you haven't fallen and whacked the heck out of your knees within the past week.

In that case, you'd best press your "I've fallen and I can't get up!" button.

You know you are getting old when you keep two funeral dresses: one for other peoples', and one for your own.

You know you are getting old when several times a day you think, "I wonder how old I'll be when I can't do this [specific activity] any more?"

Funeral dress! Are you kidding? I don't think I own a dress! Bury me in my sweats and a T-shirt. As I lived, so shall I die. And my black cape. Nobody wants it anyway.

When you have to take a few minutes to figure out how to pick something up off the floor without bending your knees, back, or falling over.

I had a dress for my mom‘s funeral, then , suddenly, it got so warm for September, I had to buy a new skirt ( not dress) , the dress I was planning to wear was way to warm for 80s I think that was the first time we hit 80s in September ( about 20 years ago)
