Young at Heart Only
Last Wednesday, we were driving through Chop Chop and the dude at the window was "young lady-ing" me at every turn. Thank you young lady, here you go young lady, have a nice day young lady, and so on. As we pulled away, Kyra asked, Mommy, why did he keep calling you young lady...you're not young!" And I'm getting more decrepit as we speak apparently.

Okay, so the guy at Roasters thought that Matt Blake was my son. Now lets talk decrepit!
He was feeling sick and looked kinda' pitiful, had very teen-looking clothes on, and what else can I use to explain...Oh yeah and I look like his mother. I said to the guy, couldn't you have at least assumed he was my date. Obviously not.
So young lady, I think you are still one!
Angela, normally I would not post on your site since we have never met, but after I got up from rolling on the floor laughing about Arlene's post, I thought I would share my own "decrepit" story!.... Last yr Lon & I were getting ready to go on our yrly Las Vegas trip. I bought these new jeans that I thought were so cute & hip & sexy. Well, they were a little too long, so I took them to the cleaners to be altered. When I picked them up, the clerk asked me "Are these your daughter's jeans?" "NO!!!" I said as I indignantly snatched them away, making a mental note to NEVER do business with this place again, since they obviously hired incompetent employees who could not recognize a hip, style concious woman when they saw one!! Seriously though, I gave those jeans away to my neice who is a freshman in college. The last thing I want is to be seen as a pitiful 40's woman trying desperately to still look 20's. So...I guess I will just resign myself to elastic waists and pleated fronts from now on! :-)
hahah.. what's their deal? Parker recently found out I was 30 and he goes, "WOW! Mom, your age is really big like T-rex's (he is in a big dinosaur stage right now which you may thankfully never see with 2 girls)... Guess anyone over 5 is old to them...
Here in KY I am "ma'am" (but more like "Ma aammmmmm" when you add the drawl) to everyone. Makes me feel super old to have 15 year olds ask, "What can I get you ma'am? and "Yes, ma'am." At least "young lady" has a certain endearment to it.
I say we are aging quite well considering our kids think we are on our way to Metamucil, hearing aids and AARP discounts:)
Love ya and miss you!
