    if you lived long enough you'd shrink right back down to like when you were a baby. It just science, Grow up first and then back down.

    Kids sprout up because they have no worries.

    because they've reached the age where life stops giving them things and starts taking things away........

    starting with the stilletos and platforms.....

    Also,
    I recently made an observation on an aeroplane that old people are made sit at the front and back,Is this because in the event of a fire,Or small crash they won't block off the exits?

    This is bad,If it wasn't for old people there would be no aeroplanes
