Daughterofking, Well I will tell you this,VERY TRUE! story about myself........... Here goes then.... I started work, In a London Office, when I was 15 yrs old.. A couple of days after I had started..A girl was coming around with a small box.. We said hello, then she said..'It's alright I know you have just started here..I won't ask you, as you do not know the person'.. I got even more curious then..and said, 'Well why are you collecting for her?'.. She said, 'Well, it's her Birthday tomorrow'.. So I said, 'Oh yes, if you can just point her out to me,then I will know who she is.. She did..And I said, 'She has been talking to me today, yes I will put something in the box for her..And I did.... And just as an afterthought..I asked the collecting person..'Well, how old will she be?' 'The collector said, 'Twenty'.................. I was in a bit of a daze the rest of the day...I wasn't really quite sure why?! ... When I got home, that evening... I was sitting down, and Mum came up to me, and said, Are you alright?' 'Yes why', I said. Mum said, 'Well you look a bit flushed thats all'.. Suddenly, I remembered the collection at work..... 'Mum, I've got something to tell you'.. 'Whats that?' said Mum.. 'Well,they had a collection for someone at work today, as it's her Birthday tomorrow'. 'Yes'. said Mum.. 'But Mum.' I said..'Shes going to be twenty Mum, Twenty, I never want to be Twenty Mum.' It was very peculiar then..As my Mum, threw back her head and laughed.. I didn't know why.. [This was multi multi, years ago though..we were not so much of the world as kids today..] Mind you, when I next saw my Aunt and Cousin..They started joking with me.. 'Whats this,' said my Aunt, 'About you never wanting to be Twenty!' So that became , one of the family jokes for many years..and other things.. that I said when starting to find my way in the world...I also when I got older joined in with their laughter, very much..................... And lots of times now, I have often thought,'I wish I was Twenty again!!' You can't win, can you!! LOL!!!! Much Love, From message X+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mommy4Jesus Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I always remember feeling that my parents were "ancient" when I was a little girl and here they were my age that I am now! I am 32 and wasn't bothered by turning the big 30 as I thought I would be. I was more bothered by turning 20 than I was turning 30 for some reason...don't ask me why, but I was. Anyway, I guess it's all in the way you look at your life. I feel REALLY old when I'm trying to keep up with my three year old but on that same token I feel a lot younger because they keep me young at heart. I enjoy watching the cartoons that they do and going into the toy aisles are a blast (don't tell the kids) because I can play with them and it is O.K. because I'm with my kids! But I personally don't think 25 is old...and as someone else said, it's all in your perspective. So 25 may feel old to you but once you hit an older age it won't seem "old" at all! Take care, and God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
