Age dyslexia is as clever, fun and funny as demoralizageshun. (big grin). Greate creates! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-05: 06:10:00

Clever blend & funny sentence. "1551" - reminds me of the "1661 Syndrome", where one looks attractive from the back (16), but not so attractive from the face (61)! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-05: 15:44:00

Sentence: When the kiddies in her office gave Joan a surprise birthday party, it gave her a mendaciouspause to see they had gotten the right amount of candles on her cake. She'd been 29 as long as she had worked there, for over 20 years. How did they guess she wondered? She had been very careful at disguising her true age...hair died dark chocolate brown, wrinkle creams galore, wearing trendy, youthful clothes, etc. What Joan did not know was that the kiddies weren't blind...they'd seen her taking Geritol breaks, wearing support hose, having hot flashes and most tellingly, they'd seen the big box of Depends in her bottom desk drawer...damn those tv commercials she thought!

Etymology: Mendacious (intentionally untrue;given to lying) & Menopause (time in a woman's later life when her fertility ends)
