heheMy nan has had several medical problems over the years what with an ongoing thyroid complaint and a stroke a few years ago. What got the family riled was when she lied about her age to the doctor! She cut about 5 years off. My mum set that straight as soon as she found out :) Holy shit nan, you're 83, what's the point in telling the doctor you're only 78?

simple answer:pride. You've spent most of yer life trying to be older than you really are, when you get to that age you wish to fuck you were younger than you really are. I'm guessing here, but judging by the way I feel right now I think that's got to be right.
