Pronunciation: un kynd ree wynd

Sentence: James had a daydream his whole life that he would never get old. As each decade past though, people he thought of as old in his younger days were now his peers or younger. Instead of saying "Wow, she's at least 50 and ancient." He would now say, "Hey, she's only 50/60/70/80 or 90 and looks great!" He knew he was getting old when he started going to more funerals than weddings and he read the obits every day in the paper to make sure he was not listed there. Although his mind was still young and foolish, his body started to betray him. Going to his doctor every week was now a social activity, one that he would use in conversations with, well, anybody ("You should see the size of my prostrate!) This once lively and exhuberant man was now experiencing the unkindrewind syndrome. Yep, his fountain of youth was drying up...he had taken a stroll through the Disenchanted Forest never to return...he wouldn't buy green bananas, in case they couldn't ripen in time! His latter years would be spent regressing mentally and physically until, with no family or friends around, he'd be left to the mercy of a temporary foreign worker nurses' aide who did not speak English. A nice enough lady who would cheerfully spoonfeed him with a clean bib at each meal, wipe his nose (and other parts), teach him to try and speak again and change his diapers. He thought she was his Mom...

Etymology: Unkind(lacking kindness;lacking or showing kindness or compassion or mercy ;circumstances that cause suffering) & Rewind (to go backwards;to reverse)& play upon "Please be kind and rewind" stickers that video shops placed on VHS tapes.
