Are you menopausal?

No, it’s you. – In answer to: “Is it hot in here?”

Shall I close the window? It doesn’t matter if it’s draughty, she opened it for a reason.

Is it raining? Your hair is wet. You know perfectly well it hasn’t rained in weeks, this is sweat.

My granny had the same thing…

At your age… to begin any sentence

Shall I read it for you if you can’t find your specs?

Are you having a mid-life crisis?

Is that a hair on your chin? This one is especially dangerous.

Are you sure about that outfit?

Are you having one of those mood swings?

Wow. Your glasses are steamed up!

You need to go for a pee again? You’ve only just been.

Lucky you, no more periods.

Isn’t this warm weather wonderful?

You just need to do some exercise and cut out coffee and it’ll stop. No, it won’t.

Have you considered HRT? D’oh. What do you think?
