Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for May 22, 2020

Time flies when you’re having kids.

You’re not old until your pants pockets are up as high as your shirt pockets.

“You’ve grown-down quite a bit!”

I never thought he’d stoop this low to greet his friend!

Sad. And, for the most part, preventable.

I pulled this one on my sister at her wedding. “I knew you when you were only this tall.” I’m her YOUNGER brother.

I never teased her when we were kids. Now as adults, I tease her constantly.

I like this. It is funny and kind of sad at the same time. Deep,,,,makes you think.

Oy

Suicide, homicide, cancer, blood clots, and diabetes. And then there is AIDS and heart attacks, strokes and drugs. I am down to one friend, one brother and we already know what will be their deaths. Life is short: I’m buying a condo on the beach in Florida.

By any chance, do you remember my name and where I live?

With age comes shrinking expectations.

I have a beautifully embroidered nightie that I bought and then found it’s just a bit too tight to wear. I’m saving it because I know I will eventually shrink into it.
