Bowling for Soup – Getting Old Sucks (But Everybody’s Doing It)

I’ve mentioned before that my sneezes have changed into nonsense words. I plead allergies. More “old man noises” for my wife to make fun of and be grossed out by. (The one she really hates sounds kinda like “Buuuuicccckkkpttt!”

Today I realized I’ve developed a grunt vocabulary. Every old person has one of those. You can’t just quietly get out of a chair anymore. My grandmother used to go “Wheee!”

I used to have the standard “Umph!”

But lately it’s been coming out “Murph!” I was trying to yank my side of the blanket out from under my wife last night and it came out “Murph! Murph! Murph!” Till I yanked it loose.

I swear didn’t steal that from Interstellar, but I can’t help but think of it. Hearing Matthew McConaughey go “Murph! Murph! Murph!” made me snicker at all the wrong times.

You know he’s gonna make that noise when he gets old.
