Title: Funny Prayer about Getting Old at the Caregiver of the Year Dinner
Added: Apr 7, 2010
Author: HomeInsteadInc
Duration: 7:31
Description:
With the timing of a professional comedian, this diminutive "little old lady" shines a very funny light on the foibles of aging, to the delight of an audience filled with senior-care experts. A friend of the couple who founded Home Instead Senior Care, Mary Maxwell was asked to give the invocation at the company's 2009 Convention. Initially it seemed like a normal prayer, but it soon took a very funny turn. Her deadpan delivery and lines like ...This is the first time I've ever been old... and it just sort of crept up on me ... had everyone rolling in the aisles. For more of Mary's unique view on aging, check out her video blog on CaregiverStress.com:http://www.caregiverstress.com/voice/mary-maxwell/Find out more at http://www.homeinstead.com.

Feb 25, 2011 - This literally had me falling off my chair laughing. Her deadpan style is precious and her joy for life is truly apparent. This perspective is the only one to have as we gain in years - and of course in wisdom... :-)

Apr 18, 2011 - It's great to see I'll be among other like- minded seniors when I arrive at the doorstep of old age and that there might be room, at a table of them that can still laugh, for me to join in. thank you for sharing this wonderful footage.

Apr 19, 2011 - Thanks for this video. what can I say? she's a marvel...she's not timid to discuss about the hassles and hardships of getting old, and also talk about it with humor. I'm already in my middle age, and all her revelations are true enough. As for me..I'm on denial and its very hard for me to admit that I already need reading glasses. But sooner or later it will catch up on me, and when it does, I will try my best to grow old gracefully,
