Getting Old

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD.

 

WELL… YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.

 

I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST.

 

 

I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA ON THE WALL, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-ODD YEARS AGO.

 

 

COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?

 

 

UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT.

 

 

THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.

 

 

AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL.

 

 

“YES… YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG!” HE EXCLAIMED WITH PRIDE.

 

 

“WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?” I ASKED.

 

 

HE ANSWERED, “IN 1964. WHY DO YOU ASK?”

 

 

“YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!” I EXCLAIMED.

 

 

HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.

 

 

THEN, THAT UGLY,

 

 

OLD,

 

 

BALD,

 

 

WRINKLED-FACED,

 

 

FAT-ASSED,

 

 

GRAY-HAIRED,

 

 

DECREPIT

 

 

SON-OF-A-BITCH

 

 

ASKED,

 

 

“WHAT DID YOU TEACH?”
