I'm not worried about 'getting' old. I'm just worried I'll stop acting young. Or worried I won't be able to act young any more. There is some truth to 'You are only as old as you act'. I have a sister who's one year older than me and she acts like she's in a nursing home already.<br /><br />Love the concept of the book. Almost reminds me of a Red Dwarf episode. Two people swap bodies so the one can get the other in shape, but he ends up doing nothing but gorging on fattening foods.

We do make a big effort for the kids, especially when they hit big ones like 16, 18. It's not going to happen again. Although I'm late, and I'm not in the US, I'll guess #3 as the lie.

The ageing part can be rough but I always look to my mom and how she's aged so gracefully both inside and out and if she's okay with it, then so am I, lol! I'm the one who writes everything down so my husband's very lucky we're whipping things into shape before we have kids. Now onto business...#1 has go to be the lie.

But the last birthday involved a pajama party, which is kind of surreal as an adult. ^_^<br /><br />As for aging, I'm fine with it, because my hair's coming in white, not grey, which will look awesome.
