I ran a little down the street today and I noticed something strange.

[Cronus Protagonist]

I'm long used to my belly bouncing around a bit when I have to half-run to get across the street, but today I noticed that my face was also moving around - I probably looked a lot like a bulldog sniffing a mouse while I was cantering across the intersection. Clearly, my face isn't as well attached as it used to be. It's just old age, they say and I'm not happy about it.

The problem is that I'm still planning on living forever, and a falling face at fifty is not raising my hopes for keeping my looks for my rapidly up-and-coming millionth birthday.

1. When you reach that millionth birthday, I'll be there (I hope)

That's gonna be some par-tay!

2. By that time, you'll both be reduced to the size of little grasshoppers

and kept in a box in an isolated corner of the house

4. if I look in the mirror I see my dad

its a nightmare he died 26 years ago.

9. Oh, I do too, but I own it now

Since he died, I even own my own name now too! (I was named after my dad)

5. Get back to us

when your chin touches the ground, whipper snapper. We'll want pictures!

10. I have a feeling my breasts will make it there first

And I'm a man.

6. Gravity turns on you after a certain age, for sure.

Doesn't seem fair....just as we start to develop all the wisdom that comes maturity, too.

7. Happens to the best of us.

I noticed my jowls when I was getting my hair cut a few weeks back, when looking into the mirror full on.

I'll learn to live with it. Not into getting my face pulled up to my scalp, or shot through with Botox, thanks very much.

8. All you need to do is look in the mirror and say "You're beautiful."

Trust me.
