Old Folks Assignment

A paragraph about your current feelings about old people - how much you interact with folks that are old, some of your experiences and impressions and reactions to old people. How you think of them and how they think of you.

I actually used to be scared of old people. If you ask me I'll deny it but when I was a little kid I used to hold my breath whenever I passed one. My feelings toward old people have definitely changed as I've grown older and more mature. I rarely ever interact with old people but when I do it's usually okay. Old People, no matter who, always tell me how handsome I am. All old people do that. It's like their thing. The only old person i regularly interact with is my Grandma who's 87. She loves to talk on the phone and its nice because she does nothing but compliment me and always wants to hear about me; and of course I love talking about myself. Old people sometimes like me, but I'm not too social when I'm with them because i don't know what they want to talk about, but it can be fun because I sometimes treat it like it's a game. I feel like an asshole when i do it, but it's like they probably won't remember everything you say so I just try to make them laugh and make myself look better and it works a lot of the time. Personally I like old people now. They're funny and most of the times sweet.
