No.41 Getting old 投稿者:アルパカ    投稿日:2019年06月03日 (月) 00時05分 [返信]

When I was young, I couldn't understand why middle-aged or elderly people often mumble to themselves as they take some actions.
But now I understand because I myself do the same thing. I often find myself saying "Yoisho!", as I stand up or sit down, or saying, "I have to do ...., don't I", even in the case nobody should answer that.

Maybe, it cannot be helped. For early-elderlies, who forget easily, can't do things without making sure what they are about to do by saying them aloud to themselves.
