Mom is 78 and almost completely deaf. Stepdad is 76 and not quite as deaf but getting there. Mom still goes to the gym even after one knee surgery and waiting to get the other fixed. She runs circles around my stepdad. He goes for walks up and down our Main Street then heads to the grocery for a big candy bar and a Starbucks. She knows about his bad habit but she lets him have his fun as he's earned it after having been a tough, hardworking longshoreman for 52 years.
One time they got into a heated discussion out in public. Funniest thing ever because they couldn't really hear what the other was yelling. They were not discussing the same topic at all.
