Ages

My 8-year-old said: "Mommy, you are 40. You are at your peak now. It's peak time for you for one year and then you will be going down. Minute by minute, second by second. Next thing you know, you are 50!"

51-year-old (Marc Maron at BAM on Friday) said: "Have you ever been to the YMCA, happening upon a 90-year-old wrestling his testicles into a jock strap and you have that moment where you're like, that's what you get if you win? It's just a never ending battle with your descending ball sac?"

My 86-year-old aunt, who has reached the old age we hope to achieve through restraint from the bad stuff and the right amount of exercise    said last night: You can't live this long without paying the price.
