Old People

I'm scared to grow old because of the things some old people talk about. When the talk about their hips and arthritis and how they can't walk up and down stairs anymore or walk through doors, I tremble. When they mention their poodle named "Precious" who died last year and has left them all alone, I shudder. When they mention the piles of stuff that they've collected over the 80 years of life they've been living and their hoarding tendencies, I cry. When they talk about contractors taking advantage of them and running away with one of their retirement checks to Bermuda, I get angry. I don't want to become old and I don't want to talk about old things either.
