"Growing older frees you from all sorts of previous restrictions and guilt." -- Betty Friedan
Darn it all. Even at my advanced age, I still have restrictions and guilt. But I'm getting over them.
Ten or so years ago, our family traveled to Utah to attend an 80th birthday party for my Aunt Elaine. Guests were given name tags to wear. Because I like to mix things up a bit, I went around switching people's name tags. Imagine my father's surprise when he ended up wearing my name tag. (I tried to explain the humor in that, but Dad only shook his head at me. My sense of humor sometimes baffled him.) Anyway, it made for some interesting conversations.
Joy for today: mixing things up.
This is funny and a story that I don't think I had heard before. However, I'm not surprised. :)
