what is the best musical of all time and please explain yourself so i know whether or not to be angry at you

i convinced my husband (late 40s, also a dad) to get shorter shorts and they look great on him!! men, wear the short shorts!
just saw a commercial mocking chubby dads for wearing tiny shorts and this is a) not the variety of short straight heterosexual men in their late 40s wear and b) working directly against the cultural momentum we have been pressing forward sisyphean for my entire life and i WILL NOT stand for it

I need more “late bloomer” stories! Tell me about the things that you did at 50+ that you never thought you’d do or finally got to do!
And if you have examples that aren’t you, bring ‘em!
