My wife and I were watching TV, and a commercial came on for a wrinkle cream.
She said, “Do you think I should try that?”
I said, “Why? You’re not the target demographic yet.”
And that’s when the fight started.
I told my wife, “You still look as beautiful as the day we met.”
She smiled and said, “Aww, that’s so sweet!”
Then I added, “Except now, your beauty comes with more character lines.”
And that’s when the fight started.
We were at the doctor’s office for our annual checkup, and the doctor asked if I was staying active.
I said, “Does chasing after my wife when she can’t remember where her keys are count?”
And that’s when the fight started.
I was flipping through our wedding album when my wife sat next to me.
She said, “Do you think I’ve changed much since then?”
I replied, “Not at all! The photo just needs better lighting now.”
And that’s when the fight started.
My wife was doing Yoga in the living room, and I said, “Wow, you’re really flexible for your age!”
She smiled and said, “Thanks!”
I added, “Yeah, your joints make all kinds of interesting sounds now.”
And that’s when the fight started.
I asked my wife what she wanted for her birthday.
She said, “Something that’ll make me feel young again.”
So I handed her a coloring book and crayons.
And that’s when the fight started.
My wife told me she read an article that said a positive attitude can help you age gracefully.
I said, “Great! You’re already Aging; now you just need the grace part.”
And that’s when the fight started.
We were grocery shopping, and I grabbed a pack of energy drinks.
My wife said, “Don’t you think you’re a little old for those?”
I replied, “Well, I’d grab the prune juice, but you already put it in the cart.”
And that’s when the fight started.
I was reading the newspaper when my wife asked, “What does the horoscope say to me?”
I said, “It says you should stop asking me questions while I’m trying to read.”
And that’s when the fight started.
My wife said, “Let’s make a Bucket List for our golden years.”
I said, “Sure, as long as it includes sitting quietly and not spending Money.”
And that’s when the fight started.
