You Know You're 40 When...

by Ann Hodgman and Patricia Marx

Book Overview

Are you almost over the hill? Know someone who is? Getting older is no fun, but it sure can be funny. How do you know when you're approaching the big 4-0? Here are a few clues- * Comb-overs are starting to make a certain kind of sense. * A kid you once babysat for is now your lawyer. * At your checkups, the doctor has begun to ask if you're still sexually active. * Midnight seems awfully late. * You're more interested in websites that will calculate your Body Mass Index than in Internet porn. * You receive two phone calls in a single week from people who want to sell you life insurance. Whether you've just found your first gray hair or you're peering around the corner to your mid-life crisis, You Know You're 40 When ... will tickle your funny bone (while you can still remember where to find it).

Customer Reviews

really good!

Having turned 40 a couple years ago, I can attest to it being a different kind of milestone than, say, 37. This book is a funny, witty look at waking up one day and finding that you are no longer 20, try as you may to convince yourself otherwise, and that embracing this reality is not as bad as it might have seemed only a few short years before.

40th B-Day book

This book arrived in great condition! It is funny and appropriate for anyone turning 40.
