We recently went to IHOP. As Ken paid the bill, he was presented with a Golden Age Card- a nice way of saying Senior Citizen Discount Card. It's our first such experience and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I guess it's good and bad. Good: We get a discount. Bad: We're old! A couple of weeks later we went to IHOP again. We forgot to use the card. So, here's my question: Is that because we're just not used to it yet . .. OR, are we so old that we can't remember, so the card and the humiliation are of nought? I guess it's best to look at it as my dad did: "Old age is better than the alternative."

Cute story. I'm glad you guys are "still kickin'".
Ha! Next time tie a string around your finger!
I love that picture - Dad looks like he is so proud!
Funny. Definitely better than the alternative. Don't worry, I probably would have forgotten to use the card too, and I'm not old.
It is DEFINITELY better than the alternative. :) We need you!
Such a cute post. Thanks for sharing!
You SO don't seem old enough for that yet!! Weird. 50 is the new 40, and 60 the new 50. You're still young.
