How to tell you're getting old

     My hubby had an eye appointment today as a follow up to an appointment he had five months ago.  He had a cataract that was being watched and even before today's appointment he had decided to have it removed.  Now, in my opinion, cataracts are something that old people develop.  Maybe that's not true, but that is how I see it.  The doctor agreed that yes it should be done, so he has surgery scheduled for Nov. 4th.   This post is not really about the cataract as a sign of aging though.   

   While he was in the doctor's chair, the assistant called him "honey" twice.  When people you don't know start to call you honey, dear or sweetie, you're old. 

     It gets even worse, the older you get.  They start hugging you.  (That happens to my Dad a lot!)

     Stay away from me and don't call me anything!
