Funniest thing Ive read this year! You could retire on the money you’d make!

(Imo, middle age starts at 45 and ends at 65. Then it’s old age all the way. 🤷🏻 so mid thirties is extremely young to some of us!)

Emergency contact is my favourite only because there’s no “what’s for dinner?” option.

I’m 69, my wife turns 65 this month, and we both cracked up reading this! Especially “Emergency Contact.”

4. YES, I would love to invest AND in a 'first moved out' emergency kit (band-aids, the thing you put on small kitchen cuts, the wall eraser thing-a-ma-jig...) AND in a 'welcome to 30s' hamper (pills to stop pooping, pills to start pooping, random vitamins, deep heat, deep freeze, painkillers in several forms...)

I’m racking my brain to try and find an excuse to get a piñata (I had to actually start a list of ideas of all the fun themes because my mind is flooded, and I’m extremely anti-list). That’s the best idea ever! Pop those valentines on Etsy and sell them as printables…I bet you’d make as much as you would from a few annual subscriptions in no time (hell, probably new paid subscribers). “I wanna nap with you” sounds like a line from an *NSYNC song, which is now stuck in my head! My favorites (I think) are the therapist and parents.

Middle age: very wobbly concept. At 58 I am just starting to admit to it.
