You're Old, I'm Old . . . Get Used to It! by Virginia Ironside

No-nonsense, wryly self-deprecating, and totally persuasive, You're Old, I'm Old...Get Used to It! unabashedly exalts the virtues of aging. Virginia Ironside wants you to know that getting old is a good thing-and not in that dreadful “sixty is the new forty” way. At sixty-five, she has no interest in pretending to be young and neither should you. Virginia celebrates all the “issues” that she and her fellow oldies embrace, including: • Talking about ailments (and the fabulous meds that come with them) • Grandchildren (the reward you get for not killing your children) • Wisdom (random disorganized knowledge you get to put a fancy label on because you're old)
“Virginia’s take on being a modern-day grandparent is the best I’ve read… you really should savor the whole chapter”—Chuck Nyren, The Huffington Post
 
“Unabashedly exalts the virtues of aging.”—Grand Forks Herald (North Dakota)
Virginia Ironside is a journalist, agony aunt and author. She lives in London and has one son and two grandsons.
