When you go out with friends,
you never have to be the DD (unless you want to be the designated
drunk).
When getting
engaged, you can encourage your fiancee to get you a "big diamond
so you can see it."
You have an excuse if you trip and bust your
rear.
When flying on long trips, you can call and
get seated on the front row so you can "see the movie." (You know
you really just want the extra leg space
(smile).
If you pass by someone you
don't like, you can always later play it off like you "didn't see
them."
You can get
your spouse to cook the dinner because you "can't see to read the
cooking
instructions."
You are the only person who can take your dog into any
place.
You have an excuse when you start yelling "hi"
to your friend in the mall, only to find out it's not
her.
Irving:
You can be forgiven for introducing yourself to
a tree.
Leah:
You can have fun making your spouse look like
foolish trying to get your attention from across a
room.
You can talk your husband into
getting you new appliances.
Ruth H:
You never have to worry about cobwebs around
the ceiling, dirty shoes, or dust on the top shelves. Out of sight,
out of mind.
You never have to be the map
reader on trips, so you are blameless when your husband finds
himself hopelessly lost.
You can pretend
not to notice that your children's faces are covered in chocolate
ice-cream so someone else will wash them.
You still look the same in the mirror as you did ten years
ago.
You can't read your calendar, so you have an
excuse for forgetting birthdays and
anniversaries.
You can persuade your husband
to push the heavy shopping trolley around the supermarket so you
"won't run over anyone's
toes."
Mary B:
Since memory is 80% visual, senior moments
don't mean you are getting old.
Nellie:
Your quilt pieces don't all have to match
exactly at a point.
Norma:
You have a good excuse to lose your car in the
parking lot.
You can have your grandchildren
pour their own apple juice. They probably will do it better
anyway.
Anne Marie:
You can be forgiven for making mistakes in a
recipe.
You can walk right by any pet
accidents on the floor, because you "didn't see
it."
You don't have
to bother putting on makeup when you don't want to, because it
takes so long.
When you spot something that others can't find, you can say,
"If you want to find something, you have to send a blind
person."
When you are bored and want some excitement,
you can start an instant game of "help me find my
magnifier."
