I have
immortal longings in me.
- Shakespeare, "Antony and Cleopatra"
I have in me:
An 88-year-old Jewish woman who plays mahjong and saves her tea bags and knits and says things like "six to one, half-dozen to the other" and "whippersnapper" and "Lord willing and the creek don't rise..." (okay, maybe she's not Jewish.)
A 62-year-old hippie who wears multiple loud floral prints at the same time, wears too much jewelry, talks about composting too much, and throws an unforgettable garden party.
A ten-year-old book-swallowing nerd. Although that's really just the same as the current 26-year-old nerd.
What's funny is, most days I don't feel the age that I am.
As long as you're not saving your tea bags in order to send them to missionaries, you're OK. And do you really play mahjong?
ReplyDeleteMy WiiFit tells me I'm anywhere from 28-52. I'm totally down with dat.
