Herb and Jamaal by Stephen Bentley for April 22, 2023

My mother was like this. She didn’t like going to the family reunion because of all the old people there.

I’ve often thought telling people to speak up and repeat themselves makes a person seem older. Maybe with inexpensive OTC hearing aids, that will be reduced. There’s even apps that make your smartphone and Bluetooth ear piece a hearing aid.

At 90, my mother said she wouldn’t get hearing aids because “they were for old people.”

That’s right G-ma you don’t want to appear old and for sure. Yelling at Herb will make your point true and his laughable because that’s how narcissists think.

I’ve worn glasses since I was 7, in my sixties now. I consider them an accessory, like jewelry, & love getting new ones. I’d rather be able to see than think about my vanity. Like my ophthalmologist says, “Seeing is fun!” :D
