I've solved it

Posted by: velofellow on 13 January 2005

Wandering around the school I work at I heard a teacher state that the five stages of man were-infancy,childhood,adolescence,adulthood and late adulthood.You must not say old age.This struck me as insufficiently PC.I demand that we should have pre pre preadulthood,pre preadulthood,pre adulthood,adulthood and late adulthood.If this is not acceptable to you then by all means describe yourself as a post post postinfant or whatever because I don't give a monkey's.

I strongly object to the word 'late' being used in this context. Its negative connotations should be clear to everyone. Perhaps the term 'advanced adulthood' would be less offensive.

post-birth
at risk
learning the hard way
paying for not learning well enough
forgetting what you should have learned
leaving your possessions to your family

I'm 42. I think of myself as a too late adult.

We've had infancy. Now we have adultery.

Surely it is:

Stage 1. Time: Yes / Health: Yes / Money: No

Stage 2. Time: No / Health: Yes / Money: Yes

Stage 3. Time: Yes / Health: No / Money: Yes

Finally...

Stage 4 Time: No / Health: No / Money: No
