Sentence: Despite the beanie, the oversized lollipop, and the wide striped shirt, the crow's feet and liver spots were what spoke volumes to the acne-ridden movie theater ticket booth guy. "I'm sorry sir, but you're a bit old for the children's prices. We do have a senior citizen rate, though." Abner pressed the small box to his tracheotomy and a cold metallic sigh issued forth. "thaaaat will doooo. thaaank you." He shuffled toward the door, wrinkled bald head down, feeling depressed and geriatricked.
