WDP — Same As Me

Daily writing prompt
What were your parents doing at your age?

I’m old. Old like in my 70s. My father was 42 when I was born and my mother gave birth to me when she was 36. And I was the baby of our family.

When my mother was my age, my father was in his 80s. Both were retired and spending most of their time at home watching TV and reading. And waiting around for the Grim Reaper to show up.

Pretty much how my wife and I are spending our time these days.
