Lifetimes
by Judith Bakkensen
 
If I knew I was going to live to 107, I would have taken better care of my teeth.  Be careful what you wish for.  I am 107 today.  I have had a great life, mostly because I love old people.  I have spent the last 35 years with old people.  And the robots, of course.  We each have our own robot to take care of all our needs.  I wish my robot, George, would do my exercises for me. 
 
I live in a beautiful home on a golf course.  All the golf courses have been turned into old people storage it seems.  It is a big problem now that we are living so much longer.  Where can we all live.  Oh, well, I have my patch of . . . . Sorry, I took a little nap.  I am speaking to my robot, George, and he is recording my thoughts.  I am so pleased to still have thoughts.
 
Anyway, if I knew I was going to live to 107, I would have made my friends take better care of themselves.  I miss them all.  I make new friends, of course.  And there is my robot, you know, he sings all my favorite songs.  He is great company.
 
Well, I don't have much more to say.  When I started, I thought I would have a lot to say.  But, my life is very good right now and I am supposed to live to 125.  So, goodbye, for now.  So George, what did I say? Read it back to me.
