Thirty Years Of Good Advice
(I work as a receptionist at a therapy centre. One of our physical therapists has a regular client who is an elderly man from near my hometown, so we hit it off from day one. I got married recently, so was away for two weeks. When I come back…)
Client: “Well, how are you now?”
Me: “I’m good, [Client], how are you?”
Client: “Ah, not too bad now. How’s married life?”
Me: *tired of this question but unable to get annoyed with him* “You know, it’s no different if I’m honest. Just, everyone asks that.”
Client: “Ach, well, just remember: The first thirty years are the hardest.”
(If I’m honest, that was probably the best marriage advice I got from anyone…)
