“I have noticed”

Everything is farther away than it used to be. It is
even twice as far to the corner and they have even
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 any
more as every one 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’a & 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 own 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!.
