A re-run of my dad’s humor cards. They make me chuckle all over again – so I hope you enjoy them whether it’s the first time or second (first posted on 12/18/2022).
The backstory: My dad was a Presbyterian pastor for 40 years. He kept a well curated stack of humor cards – little stories he heard, found or saw and then typed onto 5×7 cards. Then he wrote in the margins when he used that particular item. His humor was often an easy way to settle in to something deeper – by laughing and thinking about the buried truth in these little nuggets, it paved the way to an open heart.
Signs That You’re Over the Hill
You look both ways before crossing a room
You keep repeating yourself.
You come to the conclusion that your worst enemy is gravity.
You frequently find yourself telling people what a loaf of bread USED to cost.
You realize a stamp today costs more than a picture show did when you were growing up.
Your childhood toys are now in a museum.
Many of your co-workers were born in the same year that you got your last promotion.
The clothes that you’ve put away until they come back in style – come back in style.
All of your favorite movies are now re-released in color.
The car that you bought brand new becomes an antique.
You keep repeating yourself.
You find this list tasteless and insensitive.

Yep. I check off all of these, except the last. When you’re truly over the hill, you don’t remember (or care about) what’s tasteless and inappropriate.

I’m glad you added the “continued from last week” at the top because I thought I was losing it. 😊 This weekend just flew by. Hope you all have a nice week ahead.

Right – especially because it keeps repeating itself… 🙂 Hope you have a good week as well, Ab.

I ask random people at least three times each day, “Did I tell you this already?” Bahaha. Hugs, C
