My Daughter Called Me Asking Why I Don't Do Something Useful With My Spare Time

Like sitting around the pool, drinking iced tea, watching the big screen or riding my Valkyrie is not a good thing, I said.

Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation.

I work full time and transport cargo and vehicles when I get the opportunity to make some side cash.   I mean really, what's she expect?

She was "only thinking of me" she said, and suggested I go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys.

So I did this and when I got home last night I decided to teach her a lesson about staying out of my business. I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a parachute club.

She called asking, "Are you nuts? You are almost 61 years old, and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"  (BTW, I did that in college.)

I told her that I even got a membership card and e-mailed a copy to her.

She immediately telephoned me, "Good grief, where are your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."

I replied ... "Oh man, I'm in trouble again; I really don't know what to do... I signed up for five jumps a week."

The line went quiet, and her friend picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted. Life is only getting better with age.  It really is not getting any easier but sometimes it can be fun.

Learning the majority of life's lessons the hard way.

Every trip is an adventure, enjoy it while it lasts.

They say with old age "if you don't use it you lose it" my advice is you get a life membership and keep jumpin! HT

If at age 61 anyones daughter might suggest going to the seniors club I can suggest getting rid of said daughter.
