The other day I was traipsing into my favorite box store (Wally World) to purchase a few of the things a family of seven needs.
And we NEED a whole lot of things, let me just put that out there right now. I digress.
So you know the place, they usually have elderly greeters at the door to Google over your kids and to tell you have fun spending your moola. Not this morning, this fine morning there was a thirty-ish man of Hispanic distant manning the door. He smiled at me and the newest addition to our home, who was appropriately decked out all in baby blue from head to toe. This nice youngish man then proceeded to inquire just how old my granddaughter was.
I considered slapping him.
Then I remember that I am nice woman and simply smiled sweetly and said:
"My SON is two months old."
The nerve of some people.
Does the above face really look like a grandma?
And if it does bite your proverbial tongue and keep it to your damn self.
Let me not be the first to mention that regarardless of how young you look, you ARE old enough to be the grandmother of this little guy. The parents of the young teenagers and twenty-somethings I have working for me are for the most part younger than I. Do I let that bother me?
ReplyDeleteYou bet! :P
Ah...Lisa...forever the ray of sunshine. LOL! Tell her you are only old enough in places like...oh shoot, I don't want to insult anyone and actually name places.
ReplyDeleteLoved the picture of you with the ears!
Oh, sweetie, at least the baby wasn't a teenager. Someone assumed I was my 16 year old's grandmother the other day. Sucks, doesn't it. You look adorable in Minnie Mouse mode.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was not a fun way to start a shopping day at that horrible place. I go at night when the hordes of people are gone. :) You look GREAT!
ReplyDeleteWow... that is an ego deflater....
ReplyDeleteYou definatley do NOT look like a Grandma!!! By the way how old was your G-ma when you were two.... JK :)
Miss you posts and amazing humor.
xoxo
I don't think you look like a grandma at all. Maybe they are used to mothers being stressed to the max and assume anyone calm and nice is a grandma...LOL
ReplyDeleteI dunno.
