For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 23, 2016

Maybe the girls’ stepbrother is good for something after all.

Girls are going on 18 at 12. But at 16 the go back to 12.

I’m in my 50s, and if someone wants to refer to me as a girl I’m fine with it. We still refer to “the boys” and “the girls” in my family. Having someone refer me to as a girl makes me feel 30 years younger. And that’s not a problem as far as I’m concerned.

It can’t be mom’s car though,got to be a "hot"car! Back in my day a charger with a 340 cu inch motor and four on the floorWas the ultimate chick magnet!

I’m 73 and I still get a kick out of it when some of my church members in their 80s and 90s call me “young lady”.

I often lied about my age as a kid. I always wanted to be older than than my real age. Now that I’ve survived past 70, you’d think that I’d be moving my age backwards. Truth is, I am proud of my years, the grey/white hair and beard, the happy lines around my eyes, and my ample girth.Age is simply Mind of Matter. If you don’t mind, it don’t matter !

That “mind over matter” quote was Mark Twain’s…..just sayin’

Teens having cars wasn’t as common in NY, due to the rust issues. I’d assume it’s the same in Canada. In the South, since even 70s cars could go over a decade without significant rot, cheap beaters were plentiful.

rekamHadn’t looked at it that way. I thought my poor walking ability was due to the fool who broadsided me at 50+, through a red light, since I had the problem since then and not just since 80.

-So you make this comment everywhere, apparently.
