Middle Age in a Nutshell 1. “Who cares if it looks good? I’m comfortable.” 2. “Has anyone seen my phone?” 3. “Stupid scale…that cannot be right!” 4. “Shoot, did I already take my vitamin?” 5. “Huh, I wonder how I got this bruise..” 6. “Why is the print on these instructions so tiny?” 7. “$5 for a box of cereal? They raised the price and shrunk the box..such a racket!” 8. “Software update again? I don’t like updates.” 9. “Who in the world is calling me at 9.30pm?” 10. “Sorry, I forgot what I was going to say.” 11. “Wait! What did I come in here for?”
