We finished up lunch today and Joe said, “Well…I guess I’d better head off to work.”
Dot: “You don’t work anymore, Joe.”
Joe: “What do you mean I don’t work anymore?”
Dot: “You’re retired.”
Joe was defiant: “Retired? I’m not retired!”
Dot: “Oh yes you are. You’re 92 years old! That’s too old to work.”
Joe: “Well maybe you’re too old, but I’m not!”
Dot: “We’re both too old.”
Joe: “Well, you can do what you want, but I’m going to work.”
Dot: “What kind of work are you gonna do?”
Jo: “You know…The usual.”
Dot: “So you’re going to sit on the couch and read the newspaper?”
Joe: “Is that my usual?”
Dot: “Yeah. You sit around the house and nap off and on while these young girls wait on you.”
Joe: “Well that sounds pretty good. Guess I’d better get to it…”
Haha. When I was younger I apparently told my Dad that I wanted to have his job when I grew up. He asked me what I thought his job was and I said “you know, lounging around being lazy!” Still looking for that job….
Aren’t we all? Thanks for reading 🙂
