I Have Noticed
Everthing is farther away than it used to be. It is even twice as far to
the corner and they have added a hill. I have given up running for the
bus; it leaves earlier than it used to.
It seems to me they are making the stairs steeper than in the old
days. And have you noticed the smaller print they use in the newspapers?
There is no sense in asking anyone to read aloud anymore, as
everbody speaks in such a low voice I can hardly hear them.
The material in dresses is so skimpy now, especially around the
hips and waist, that it is almost impossible to reach one's shoelaces.
And the sizes don't run the way they used to. The 12's and 14's are so
much smaller.
Even people are changing. They are so much younger than they used
to be when I was their age. On the other hand people my age are so much
older than I am.
I ran into an old classmate the other day and she has aged so much
that she didn't recognize me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair
this morning and in so doing I glanced at my own reflection. Really
now, they don't even make good mirrors like they used to.
