Dear Kid,
Madison Avenue thinks I am A) old and B) falling apart.
“Madison Avenue” is where all the advertising companies used to be, so saying Madison Avenue means advertising.
It seems all the commercials I’m seeing on TV are targeted at those over 150.
There is nothing wrong with aging (except the extra cost of hair color). I consider getting old far better than the alternative.
On the other hand, there is nothing particularly flattering about being considered old by the advertisers.
No, I do not need life insurance targeted to those over 80 (You cannot be turned down!). Nor do I require medication that allows me to get up in the morning, go to bed at night, or do any of the activities of daily living that people sometimes require medication for.
No, I do not wish to discuss retirement options. No, I don’t need consultations about Medicare (or any of its various parts).
Madison Avenue thinks I am old and falling apart.
Or possibly, I am watching the same shows that people who are old and falling apart are watching….
Love, Mom
P.S. Happy Anniversary to those young people!
