The two women were standing in line at the supermarket. They started talking. Sophie said."My husband turned 70 last week. But he still goes out three or four times a week." Nelly said."Really? He must be in very good shape. Where does he go? Golfing? Jogging? Does he take you with him?" Sophie said."No, he never takes me with him. I Wouldn't want to go with him anyway. Who wants to sit around in a doctor's office or at a physical therapist's three or four times a week? Frankly, I'm happy to see him leave the house." Laughing, Nelly said."Yes, they do get underfoot. When you said 'he goes out,' I misunderstood you." Sophie said."I'm sorry. I was just pulling your leg. When you get older, it helps a little to joke about the things you have to do now or you can't do anymore.?
