I used to be the remote control and tv was only in black & white.
When mums were the old gal now I'm the old gal.
Telling my kids/grandkids off for doing the same things I used to do.
Remembering baby doll nighties being the fashion.
Colouring my hair for a change now its to hide the grey.
Dancing with a partner doing the jive and going to a disco. |

While getting off a plane in Sydney, I let a small kid (it turned out that he was four years old) and his parents get off before me. As he walked past me, the boy looked up and said (very loudly!)
"He's a VERY old man!".
Out of the mouths of babes!
