Hello and good morning my wonderful Beards, it’s me your Bearded Captain, leader of all Beards, flag bearer of all Beards on digital and digital broadcasting media, I am that Beard who tries to make people laugh and I am that Beard who tries to make people smile.
My beloved’s I pray you’re well, looking after yourselves and your Beards! Brothers, I want to talk about an important issue in the life of The Bearded Captain. Brothers, it’s the issue of when you realise you’re not young anymore.
There are several signs, and here I want to go through them with you. One of the most obvious signs is when you start to get grey hairs and grey Beard. This could be flawed, I admit that because I have seen some very young children have greys in their hair.
But usually when you see this, on the whole, it’s not looking great brother, those days of youth are slipping away. Another example when you’re approached by a young child and they call you ‘uncle’.
Puzzled, as you’re adamant you’re a spring chicken, you then realise in your horror, that there’s a 20-year age gap, so if you’re not their uncle, what are you? To make yourselves feel better, you can be their cool uncle.
If that isn’t a great sign, then surely it has to be when you’re running after your niece, nephew, son or daughter. If you run out of breath chasing them, know that you’re getting closer to the bus pass o and the issue of having children? Well before you know in a blink of an eye you will be grandparents!
The last example for me of when you realise you’re not getting younger is when you realise that your niece and nephews are watching cartoons and playing toys like you once did, but also they’re markedly different to the cartoons you watched and toys you played with.
So brothers, that’s my list of signs of when you realise you’re not getting younger, have any missed any out? Do you think guys! It’s over and out from The Bearded Captain.
