Transitions.

I was enjoying a wonderful breakfast this morning with my best friend, and in the course of conversation I noticed how many things have one meaning when we are young, and totally another when we get older. A few examples:

Minipads: Great in your 20's for when you see that hot, sexy guy you'd like to see in the morning. Great in your 40's for when you sneeze and cough....

Coffee: Great in your 20's for when you are trying to get through for that final exam in the morning. Great in your 40's so you can have a reason to get out of bed.

Cell phones: Great in your 20's (and yes, I had one of those big, bulky Motorola phones thanks to my dad) to show off to your friends and look cool while you do it. Great in your 40's so you can conveniently keep your MD on speed dial as body parts start breaking down.

I'm sure there are other items that morph their uses as we get older...but as I eye one of those shopping carts with the motor, I just can't think of any more right now. I'm too busy using my cell phone as a reminder pad because my memory is horrible at my age...

There's food for thought....
