Description

See the funny side of ageing with this collection of amusing observations, silly suggestions and humorous illustrations - the perfect gift for any birthday girl or boy with more than a few candles on their cake

So you're a little bit older. So what? Just because you're getting on a bit doesn't mean you have to start acting ancient. The universe is over 13 billion years old, and you're probably nowhere near that yet - well, not quite anyway.

Frankly, it's never too early to start enjoying your second childhood, to stop taking life so seriously and to start acting a bit silly again. This book will be your go-to guide for inspiration and merriment while clocking up birthdays like they're going out of fashion.

Across these pages, you'll find all kinds of wild recommendations and questionable advice, including:

- Things it's never too late to do

- Grown-up and less grown-up ways to behave at work

- How to keep up with modern technology

- Ways you can blend in with younger people

- Things you can have tantrums about as you get older

So forget the creaking joints or fleeing follicles and embrace the opportunities for mischief and mirth - after all, growing old doesn't mean growing up!
