Dear Abby: I’m tired of a friend’s not-so-funny jokes about my age. She thinks they're funny, but I find them sarcastic and mean.
I am a 79-year-old woman. I have had a friend since high school who is five months younger than I am. A few weeks, sometimes months, before my birthday rolls around, she’ll come out with comments about her being several months younger. These comments hover between sarcastic and just plain mean. I think she thinks she’s being clever, but after many years of this, it is no longer funny. When she makes a comment this year about my BIG birthday, what could my comeback be, in essence, telling her to knock it off?How about this, spoken with a smile of course: “Oh, Honey, age is only a number. My birthday may come before yours, but you are RIGHT behind me. I’m trying out the number before you get there. At this point, I consider each day a blessing and so should you.
