The only time in our lives we like to get old is when we're kids. If you're
less than 10 years old you're so excited about aging you think in
fractions: "How old are you?" "Six and a half!" You're never 36 and a half.
"Four and a half--going on five." You're going on ... the greatest day of
your life: you become 21. But you turn 30. It makes you sound like bad
milk. Then you're pushing 40.
It's all slipping away. Then you reach 50. "My dreams are gone!" You become
21, you turn 30, you're pushing 40, you reach 50: and you make it to 60. By
then you've built up so much speed you HIT 70. After that?
It's day by day. You hit Wednesday. In your 80s you hit lunch. My
grandmother won't even buy green bananas. It doesn't end there. In the 90s
you start going backward. "I was just 92." Then a strange thing happens. If
you make it over a 100 you become a kid again: "I'm 104. And a half."
