Dentures-To replace the teeth that have departed to the great gum in the sky. We can take them out, brush them, and store them in a glass overnight to fizz.
Hearing aids-to replace our hearing that has deteriorated over time from loud noises such as come from children, soccer games, industrial noise, and wives.
Wigs- to replace the hair that we have seen on the shower floor. This is something that serves a dual purpose of keeping the pate warm in wintertime and shaded in the summer sun assuming we stay out of strong winds.
Glasses- to take back some of the sight that God intended for us to loose over time. Without them we can’t see the wrinkles that are in our spouses or our own faces. She is still as pretty as the day you met. The arms grow shorter so the newspaper must be held out a ways and it would help if the print was larger.
The only facial feature we haven’t tried to correct is the sense of smell (I am ignoring the nose job by a plastic surgeon). It’s probably a good thing.
Loss of memory accompanies old age. I believe this is so that we can forget the bad things and trespasses that have happened to us. We can remember the good things instead.
