Jezz...things get complicated as you get older.

A few minutes ago I responded to Glitterbag with a post that included the line, "I am really an old fart now."

I had edited that comment. Originally I had written, "I have recently become a curmudgeonly old fart."

The reason I edited it is that I have noticed that these days, the most perplexing problem I deal with regularly is the question, "Have I recently become a curmudgeonly old fart...or have I been a curmudgeonly old fart for quite a while now and have just become aware of it."

I decided to ask my wife about it and asked that she not spare me...that she be truthful.

She responded, "Oh, not you, Dear. You are not a curmudgeon at all...or an old fart. You are perfect."

Then she went back to mopping the bathroom floor...all without once looking me in the eye.

Cannot help but wonder if maybe she was "sparing" me.
