I often think about getting old, and what kind of older person I will be. Mostly because I work with the elderly and I see all different types. I wonder if I will be a hoarder, or will I be the type of older person that holds no sentimental value to anything, and just gives it all away. Will I be grouchy and bitter because my loved ones stuck me in a nursing home and hardly ever come to visit. Will I play bingo every weekend to pass the time.Will I be adored by my grandchildren whom I will spoil rotten and tell them about my escapades from my younger years.
I know the kind of elderly person I would like to be. I want to be the kind that dances at weddings, has a shot of tequila every night before bed, rides a bike with a wicker basket on the front of it. Drives a classic car, listens to heavy metal music, which wouldn't sound so heavy by the time I'm in my 80s. One that goes to the beach with a metal detector and finds all kinds of treasures. I want to belong to the Red Hat Society. I've always loved seeing those little old ladies dressed up in their bright red hats. Eat dinner at the local diner at 4:00pm so I can get my senior citizens discount, of course. I want to sit on my front porch drinking iced tea in my rocking chair with my 5 cats named Laverne, Shirley, Lenny, Squiggy and The Fonz at the end of each day...Ayyyy.
Yeah, that's the kind of older person I want to be.
