You are never too old to learn. My lesson for today is ‘be careful who/what you criticize because it WILL come back to bite you in the butt’.
Two weeks ago my husband fell out of bed. I was all over him like a fly on honey about being careful, judging your movements, reminding him that we aren’t spring chickens anymore. Lots of eye rolling coming from me. He hurt himself — his thumb and his face but he is ok.
Fast forward to this morning at 3 a.m.
Crash.
Boom,
Thud.
My husband races around my side of the bed to see if I am ok. I couldn’t really judge the situation because I was so taken by the very large grin on his face and his attempt to suppress a laugh. Finally I pronounced myself ok, the only thing hurt was my ego and back to bed I went. But, not back to sleep. That didn’t happen until after 5 a.m. I laid there for 2 hours trying to figure out why we are falling around so much. I mean, we aren’t THAT old.
Or are we? I have never known how to behave properly for my age regardless of what my age was. Maybe it is normal but I will say I don’t like it.
And I promise I won’t criticize my husband anymore. Well, I will try not to.

Oh Dear. I'm sorry you fell but isn't it a fact that the things we criticize will come back to haunt us. That said, try to move slowly and carefully. ( I tell myself that a dozen times a day especially now in summer when I wear flip-flops.)
Oh, yes, Granny, I am telling myself that all the time too and it is so hard to do. Lucky you can still wear flip-flops! I wish I could but seem to have aged into having to have my shoes attached to my feet. I am just not ready, in my brain, for this “mature” stuff!
