Becky and Friends B5

Kids like old folks, and oldies seem to love kids. Why is this? Is it because as the elderly graduate into the ranks of the unemployed pensioners, many become like children again. Sadly many of them begin to loose the survival techniques of memory which have taken a lifetime to accumulate. And unfortunately the three score and ten years of day to day living independent lives, have advanced to a dependence on diapers and the uncontrollability of one's bowels. Hearing diminshes and teeth have to be extracted to relieve the chronic pain. No wonder the elderly like to have friendly, understanding, young people in their company. They are very much alike and kids want to hear about their lives, which now seem to have occurred just a little while ago. Kids enjoy old folks, and the oldies enjoy having us around.
