The other day I was walking along the road when I saw that an old-ish woman (I am guessing at late 60s) had slipped over and a guy was trying to help her up. He was not succeeding.
I rushed over to help, arriving at around the same time as 3 other guys.
We all grabbed arms, hands, etc, and soon she was on her feet, smiling and thanking us.
A passing woman stepped in and commented.
"Wasn't it nice to have all these young men rushing to help?"
The rescued woman looked her in the eye and replied:
"Yes, but where were they when I was young enough to enjoy it?"

Wreggie - I thought so.

Jen - Going to grow old disgracefully, huh?
I am SO going to be that woman someday.
Hahahahahaha! The perfect response!
Ali - I hope we are still blogging so you can tell us all about it!
Terri - It was good, wasn't it?
boy, doesn't she have a great attitude!!! just love it. :)
You gotta keep your sense of humor when you get older.
Um Naief - she sure does!
agg79 - Ain't that the truth!
Seeing as it is my 64th birthday today - and I honestly don't feel elderly - let's put her age as the late 70's maybe????? Love the story and I always say that a sense of humor is one of the most important character qualities to have!
Claire - Yeah, she looked a lot older than you, so maybe that is a better guess at her age. But on the other hand, you really don't look 64!
Happy Belated Birthday!
