I JUST discovered my age group! I am a Seenager. (Senior teenager)
Life is Good! Also, you will feel much more intelli gent after reading this, because you are a Seenager. Brains of older people are slow because they know so much. People do not decline mentally with age; it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information in their brains. Scientists believe this also makes you hard of hearing as it puts pressure on your inner ear. Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get there, they stand there wondering what they came for. It is NOT a memory problem; it is nature's way of making older people do more exercise. SO THERE!
I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50-60 years later. I don't have to go to school or work I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant, they aren't scared of anything, they have been blessed to live this long, why be scared? And I don't have acne.
CREATIVE DEFINITIONS: CANTELOUPE: gotta get married in church. IMMEDIATE: to refrain from meditating. CLOTHES DRYER: an appliance that eats socks. SEASON: male offspring of Poseidon LIQUOR: how a male animal cleans his mate. MARITIME: the hour of a wedding. SYNONYM: a linguist's favorite spice.
MEDIEVAL: not completely wicked. THESAURUS: a dinosaur that knows a lot of words. ABDICATE: to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach. TUMOR: one more than one more. PARASITES: what you see from the top of the Eiffel Tower. URINE: where you are when you aren't out.
