Getting Old
I’m trying to figure out if my wife is telling me something. Here’s the book she gave me yesterday:
I must admit, I do like things to occur in certain ways. I do get just a little bit cranky when something I want to do gets pushed aside for something someone else wants to do. I do get a little bit grouchy when folks are really loud around me and having a good time and I want to be in a quiet time doing quiet things. But I’m not crotchety…never have been…never will be.
By the way, Dictionary.com defines crotchety as “given to odd notions, whims, or grouchiness, of the nature of a crotchet.” Now that says it all…how could anyone think I’m crotchety? Another definition says, “having a difficult and contrary disposition.” Unbelievable…that is so not me!
