Old Couple’s Chat

By  |   |   |  51 comments  
The sweet but funny experiences of an old couple with hearing problems.

Me and my wife

An old couple sitting near a wishing well,
Both have trouble hearing well
The woman said, “throw a stone and make a wish,”
But the man replied, “I see no fish.”

In awe, the old lady said, “You really want a kiss?”
Then immediately gave his partner a big smack
Holding hands, the couple stroll along the park
While reminiscing some cherished bliss.

Suddenly the woman walks in a rush
With a soft voice she said, “Darling look at the flowers “
And the man jovially answers, “Yes sweetheart, we’re still lovers”
Kiss his wife and said, “that’s why I love you so much.”

    Wow, this is really so sweet Sir Donald how I wish I can see my parents like this also but sadly my Dad died a very long time ago. This post reminds me of the song "Grow Old with you"from some movie =)

    Sweet. I guess when the hearing is gone, it's the heart that listens and responds.

    I thinks old couples are more nakakakilig in a way that you can feel what true love means more than the young adults in which they have so much time to change their minds pa. :D

    this is really lovely ... they may have become somewhat "impaired" due to age but their responses to each other are still about love and how they cherish their younger days.... love love love

    Kahit malabo na ang mga mata
    Kahit mahina na ang pandinig nila
    Maghahawak-kamay pa ring maglalakad
    And dalawang pusong sadyang magkapalad.

    Funny but sweet... I admire old couples still hold hands while walking. I see them very often here in Germany. It's either they very old so they hold on to each other for them not to fall or just love each other.

    This made me remember my late grandmothers who had hearing problems as well. It's such a cute and funny story. That's why I don't understand why some people easily gets annoyed at how repetitive the elders are. We'll all go to that stage; we should understand them.
