When Your Husband Gets Old

A couple months ago....iKeith told me that at one time in his life he wanted to take Swing Dancing lessons.  I thought that was kind of odd because he's really not much of a dancer and every time I've mentioned lessons he's declined.  We talked about it and he informed me that he's too old to Swing and I suggested that perhaps he'd be more comfortable taking Square Dancing lessons.

He laughed at me and said he wasn't THAT old yet.

Then this came in the mail.







And then this.






Last week, I got this in my email box and I forwarded it to him.





He didn't think it was very funny.  I thought it was hilarious because under restrictions it said...Must be able to walk at a fast pace and under highlights it said alcohol-free environment....which I thought should have been a restriction.

Other signs that my husband is getting old....our medicine cabinet. 


I always knew I was a trophy wife but now it's coming true!


EDITED!

My friend Anne just send this to me.

  1. ha, ha!!! HILARIOUS!!! My wake-up call was when I had to change my military ID to "Retired". Now, as a 32 year old, I'm a RETIREE'S wife clogging up the commissary waiting lines for all those active duty spouses. :o) It kills me!!!

    The AARP card would put me over the edge though. I don't think he's received one of those yet. When he gets it, I swear I'm framing it.

  3. @Christina....iKeith is also RETIRED military! They call him Captain at work.

    @Barb....He's the second so he goes by his middle name.

    @Heather...He's also been paying a lot of attention to those Hoverround commercials.

  18. That is too funny... My hubby was old when I married him, so now he is ANCIENT!! I WAS a trophy wife, now I'm OLD, too. :-)
    I'm a card carrying member of AARP at 45 because hubby is a member, gives you some great discounts.
    Make sure to tell iKeith to ask for his discounts when he goes out places, Bill LOVES his senior discounts. HaHa
