Nhwm, a lot of our parents used that phrase, Too Pooped To Pop. It is a Chuck Berry song released in 1960:

Too Pooped to Pop
Lyrics

Casey is an old man who wants to be a teen
He goes to all the dances, and they call him cha-cha King
He cha-chas when the band is playin' rock 'n' roll
He tries to keep in time, but the beat leaves him cold

Because he's too pooped to pop, is too old-school
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do this stroll
And every time his feet get to go in one way
Here comes a new dance, and it's goin' to stray
Chicks told Casey, "You better move man"
This is only a one-night stand
Casey wasn't in time, but he was dancin' awhile
'Til a cramp caught his leg and he had to change his style

Because he's too pooped to pop, is too old-school
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do this stroll
And every time his feet get to go in one way
Here comes a new dance, and it's goin' to stray
Because he's too pooped to pop, is too old-school
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do this stroll
And every time his feet get to go in one way
Here comes a new dance, and it's goin' to stray

Casey finally learned to do the hoochie koo
This might have been fine back in '22
Now, I'm gonna give you fellows just a little tip
If you wanna keep your girl, you'll better get hip

Or you'll be too pooped to pop, too old-school
You hips are gettin' weaker when you'll try to do the stroll
And every time your feet gettin' to go in one way
Here comes a new dance and you'll be left to stray.

You can see him sing it on a YouTube video.

Oh Bounce, don’t encourage me. I got a million of ‘em.

My husband’s fav: One afternoon my mother came over, dramatically dragging herself along, using a mop for support. She wanted us to see how weak she’d become. She said she was so weak she couldn’t even make it the few feet over to her walking sticks. But she managed to walk down her porch stairs and to our house (we were neighbours) to put on the display. Then a friendly neighbour drove up, and she was miraculously cured, scampering off to chat.

Ana,

Springsteen is cool and you’re still cool! You don’t have to apologize to your kids! 😆

Bounce,

Laughter saved my sanity throughout my years! Humor is incredibly powerful!

Think I'm going down to the well tonight
And I'm going to drink 'til I get my fill.
And I hope when I get old, I don't sit around thinking about it, But I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back
Trying to recapture,
A little of the glory of...
Well, the time slips away,
Leaves you with nothing, mister,
but boring stories of glory days.
- Bruce Springsteen
(apologies to my kids but, you know, I used to be cool)

I loved Phylis Diller! She was hilarious.

I’m at an age when by back goes out more than I do. - Phyllis Diller

Today, while eating turkey-rice-vegetable soup I made with the left-over turkey, she said… as she struggled to spoon it from bowl to mouth, “what is the green thing that won’t come in my mouth?”
uhm, I thought, picturing Michael Scott.
“celery”

Newbie,

LOL 😝

This is a true one, told to me years ago by a colleague about her mother:

80-year old woman says to Dr: "My right knee has been extremely painful, to the point where I have a lot of trouble walking and going up and down stairs."

Dr. pokes around for a bit, takes an x-ray of the knee, then says "It's just old age and there's nothing that can be done."

80-year old woman replies: "My left knee is the same age and it's not complaining."

My mother used to say, “I am too pooped to pop!” It’s funny how I catch myself saying this when I’m exhausted.

Typo! Stupid autocorrect!
