Aging is an inevitable part of life; it’s something we all go through. While getting older may bring some unfair challenges like aches and pains, one thing we never lose is our ability to laugh, our sense of humor. I’ve put together a quick list that I think you’ll enjoy, designed to bring a smile to your face. When you’re feeling down or a bit blue about another year passing by, nothing lifts your spirits quite like laughter. So, without further ado, here’s “You Know You’re Getting Old When!”
