One-Liner Wednesday – Getting old

34 Comments

How is it that a glass of wine with dinner went from the start of a good evening to “It’s 8 o’clock—is it time for bed yet?”


If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.

NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.

As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.

Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”

The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:

1. Make it one sentence.

2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.

3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.

4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!

5. Have fun!

    Can’t believe I’m the same age as old people. Haven’t looked in a mirror for years!

    There are days when I think 8:00 is too late! Maybe have the wine with lunch 😉

    Time flies when we’re having fun, Linda.

    Thank you so much ☺️ I hope you like my one-liner in my pingback. I promise it isn’t about Wi-Fi.
