Ask Alexa - Why don't older people get more respect?

Alexa: As I grow older I don't think I get much respect. Why is that?

There is a difference between growing old and growing up. Respect has to be earned, it is not freely given. Animals grow old, but only human beings have ther prerogative of growing up.

Alexa: Did you hear about the husband who wanted a divorce because his wife made terrible coffee.

Yes, he felt he had the grounds.
