So now I have a complex

[SekretReligion]

Today I was shopping with my apprentice who is about 24. Twice in the same store the called her my daughter. WTF?! I've always been told I look young for my age and now suddenly I look old enough to be the mother of a 24 year old.

oooohhhhh, yeah, feelin' your pain....sorta. I was ALWAYS the youngest one in my group of friends, not so much anymore and what I hate more than anything with this whole 'aging' thing is that when I go clothes shopping, my brain and face say JUNIORS but my body says another thing and I won't go there!!! LOL.....They just aren't making size 11 like they used to are they?

I hear ya because a couple years ago I attended a church service where some teens were being confirmed.
When I was on my way to the reception, another attendee asked if the 15 year old girl being confirmed was my daughter.
I remembered at that very moment, I felt v-e-r-y o-l-d.

I could tell my apprenctice didn't understand. I said I think I'm going to cry and she looked at me funny. Someday she will know the pain.



Mine's Chubby Hubby.

oh no they did not!!

You don't even look close to being able to have a 24 year old, please!

BTW - my legs are not too happy about Monday night. I haven't had this many mosquito bites in a long time. Oh how I love the summers in DC!!

Have fun at the beach.

I'm lucky with the gene pool too, but I HATE when I'm called ma'am. My sister, who has spent most of her life growing up in the south says it. She uses sir and ma'am all the time and thinks I am over reacting. I see it as some teenage clerk working at the grocery store thinks you're an old bat.

I had to tell off some kids at my son's camp yesterday for throwing rocks and they just sneered at me like I had no authority whatsoever to halt their fun. It took an older man with grey hair to get them to stop, so at least I don't look that threatening to a bunch of kids.

Oh I hate ma'am too. That was a bad day too the first time I was called ma'am and I still cringe. I'm not old enough to be ma'am.

Since I'm 40, I don't mind being called ma'am anymore. The cute bagboys at the grocery still flirt with me so maybe that helps...lol. ;D
