Mum asked me to be honest and tell her if I noticed anything dementia-ish about her today. Nope, she's all there as always. I would definitely tell her if I thought she was going downhill.

One of the residents at work went downhill after her son died, it's what caused her dementia to make her not be the same anymore. She went sporadic too quickly :(

You're the one complaining about the young people.

Happens to us all. I try very hard not to, but some of the things young people do are so obviously stupid. Youth really is wasted on the young.

Yeah, we should start off with an old body and then gradually get younger.

The nice thing about youth is, we can take quite a few knocks and bounce back before we get the hang of being in the world. Really, it might be ideal to start young, grow old, and then reverse and grow young again once we reach 70... and then suddenly die of a painless heart attack in our sleep once we reach 16 again.
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

^That's a lot better than my idea. That's how I'd like to die anyway, quick and painless.
